Someone tell Leon Panetta that Afghanistan cannot and will not be conquered--especially by a bunch of marauding neo-imperialist thugs representing a bankrupt and reeling corporate state.

Yeah. All they have to do is wait for all of our helicopters to crash and they will have a brilliant victory!

Your hero murdered them.

Mark this date down in the history books... I'll defend the 16 year old...

he's about as fond of Ohbummer as he was of Bush.

Don't get me wrong, he deserves more ridicule than this server can handle every time he posts, but we don't actually have to attribute falsehoods to him to make the environment any more target-rich.

You're talking about the same ass goblin who used to sport a Bubba Crintawn av before he began to revile him as well. He's a straight up tard. A tard's tard.

The only question I have is what the fuck was ST6 doing acting as a QRF. That's a task more appropriate for Rangers or some other kind of oorah bullet sponges. It doesn't make any sense.

War is hell.

That doesn't excuse stupidity. You don't squander a strategic asset like ST6 in a purely tactical role.

ST6 wasn't there.

They just want us to think that.

Any pics up on the taliban website yet?

I'm calling bullshit on this being 2 ST6 squads in that accident. Sounds more like a Whitehouse PR move to appease our enemies wanting revenge for Obama/Osama. Now if it turns out it really was Team 6 guys, then whatever dumbfucks in charge of a tactical mission should lose their retirement and VA benefits.

time to get out of there. maybe maintain bases which we can flying recon drones from and bomb the bejeezuz out of them from high altitude.

will this result in more collateral damage?

WGAF?

To steal a cool name from pops, ObaMao may get impeached if this turns out as I suspect. ST3 has that area as their AOR and ST6 runs Ops that very few know about. No way they would put ST6 guys on a heavy slow-moving hauler like a Chinook.

Chinook

Stands to reason, they crashed that top secret contraption in Pakistan. They'll be getting shot up in a Kia next.

I've been looking for a Yugo to ride around and collect cans while delivering newspapers in the early AM before the liquor stores open.

You'll have to fight ST6 for it, the mini-coopers at Budget were all rented out.

zz, you need to make a Canadian road trip. Enjoy the good life.

Only if Katy and Lillian are there to suck my BIG black cock. Which reminds me, I need to go to Wal*Mart and stock up on Astroglide. Girls dry out you know?

The Shithook is far from slow. It's faster than the Apache and only slightly slower than the Blackhawk. More to the point, it's the only medium lift chopper we have in service.

I've flown in a CH-46 (edit I know it was a CH-47 in the attack) as a Midshipman back in the day. The one nose gear thingy on a Vert-Rep... whatever. Sluggish and slow but could haul the mail.

Do we have any choice?

What the hell are we gonna do with the guys that come home?

Put em back in their jobs and lay off the temporary droid that covers Obama's numbers,


jeebus what a fucking nightmare

Details are coming in, BUT, I suspect that this might have been an Obama BLUNDER, BIG TIME! Apparantly, this SEAL team was conducting a raid on a taliban compound, and was shot down by a grenade launcher, can you believe this?

Was the Obama administration trying to gain political points since they were so successful in the Bin laden raid? Did they think they could score another successful mission? Why were there so many SEALS in this one helicopter? There are many questions here, just wondering if Obama is responsible for this blunder.

I wasn't aware that Obama planned operations at the tactical level.

he doesn't, but, he gets some credit for getting UBL so he gets the blame for this blunder. and yes, 30 seals in one chopper is a pretty big fukk up.

i think this is gonna end with us finally leaving this shithole.

Yes, I can. It's happened before.

The only tactical decisions Odowngrade makes are 5 iron or 7 iron and whether or not he wants sprinkles on his ice cream cone.

The Chinook is quite a bit faster than the CH-46. It's the fastest heavy lift chopper in the world and one of the fastest choppers of any class. It can also operate at higher altitudes than other helicopters.

I didn't know that. I've only been in a few helos for rides: The UH-1 Huey, TH-57 (Jet Ranger), SH-3, CH-46, and whatever the hell that thing the Coast Guard uses to pull pilots out of the water (during my flight training in P'Cola).

I know they have SpecOps versions of the 53 and now that I just looked it up the 47. If the poster "Rooster" would chime in, I'd like to hear. It just makes no sense that two ST 6 squads would be on the same helo unless we still have the same idiots in the military that weren't real warriors (pencil neck cock gobblers) to where I resigned my commission back in the day due to disgust with foolish incompetency with the O-4's and those above that got their balls suckled. I hear nothing has changed to this day.
