You know, when a corporation is sending its partners on a business trip, they never fly them together, always different flights "in case" something would happen they would not lose their leadership.
Not so with the great military minds we are dealing with here in the USA.
12 Soldiers dead in one helicopter crash. Not just any soldier, not that one is more important than another, but 12 high ranking, most intelligent officers. One was a top medical officer, a brilliant surgeon in Iraq for our Kids. And they're all dead. My God, who is the idiot making these decisions??

makes you wonder , doesn't it.....
What a waste!
Its a mind set, you plan on your equipment working, you plan on minimizing the risk of being shot at or break downs by fewer flights.
The problem is that often it boils down to a kid with training but minimal experence working under difficult conditions and little sleep.
I am afraid that I have gone over and joined the ranks of those that just want us the hell out of there, before we lose another flight of the best and brightest.
So, what are we to think? Football teams are more valuable than US military personel? How stupid is that?
This is devastating. Seems we better wake up....SOON!
And...do some serious praying for our country.
That's really sad. I wonder if what Eleven Stones wrote is the reason.
that is horrible. hope you are doing just dandy though. take care.
Sad!!
