This made me sick to my stomach. We need to get out of these wars.

Tragic. Though they weren't the same men who killed Bin Laden, just the same unit. I was just coming on here to start a new thread on this actually.

Also, everyone should read this. Remarkable story

Yeah I saw that story on SherrifGonnaGetcha's facebook page. Amazing stuff.

Awful, horrific story. Many of those killed came from my area.

But we all have to ask ourselves this ... if foreign military helicopters were flying around the United States, and our government wouldn't or couldn't do anything about it, what would all of us do?

This made me sick to my stomach. We need to get out of these wars.

just an awful terrible loss

we'll have to wait for a full report but from the sounds of things it was shot down, which leads me to this question, why would a chinook be landing in a hot lz? those things are like flying a tour bus

A customer/friend of mine works very close with the seals and this explains why he disappeared from Nags Head over the wwekend. I wa suppose to hang with him on the beach Saturday and he wasgone and did not answer his phone. I'm guessing this has hit him hard because he thinks of those kids like his won.

That sounded a little strange to me too. Really sad loss. Puts a lot of other things in perspective.

Here are the men that were killed:

The pilot of the Chinook was just 9 days from deploying home. He leaves a 10-year old son behind.
