I know what you mean. It's a good thought to think we got the perpetrators, but it's a hard thing to prove. * * *

I want to know who gets fired over this. Probably nobody. The chopper problem is that the Chinook is our best chopper over 10K altitude. And they would not send two when one would do. All of our troops are valuable. But it costs about ten times as much to train a Seal as a normal trooper. This is the equivalent of losing a 220 man regular force. Didja ever notice that our casualties over there are tied quite a lot to our use of Afghan "friends?"
