Looks like "if" this is it they were leaving their FOB when it happened... Quoting: Steve8511[link to www.liveleak.com] Good find! OMG that was total destruction. but is it truth or disinformation? If it's "allowed" to be on the Internet, then it's woven with disinfo so refreshing to see some intelligence around here for a change. just out of curiosity, Chicken, what are your views on 9/11 ? Though all things serve more than one purpose and thus have multiple "covers", it was ultimately the largest gold heist in history.

Looks like "if" this is it they were leaving their FOB when it happened... Quoting: Steve8511[link to www.liveleak.com] Good find! OMG that was total destruction. but is it truth or disinformation? Its consistent with crashes I’ve seen…. The gear boxes are made of many alloys and magnesium and when they start on fire-nothing stops them and it consumes everything. But there’s no way to know what this crash is from but it looks recent by the ash. Thanks Steve.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1503569 United States 08/12/2011 05:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As a former Infantry officer I can tell you that it was a poorly planned and executed op. First they should have gone in on multiple Black Hawks and inserted the troops in seperate location. Then, once assessing the situation, converged to relieve the encircled forces. Further, some troops should have been held back in reserve and the helos should have been used to provide air support and later for extraction. I have commanded combined arms teams before. Listen up brainiac.. The Chinook bears the name of a tribe of American Indians and also a hot, dry, powerful wind that blows in the Pacific Northwest. The helicopter can operate at night and in nearly all weather conditions. It has been used widely in Iraq and as part of Operation Enduring Freedom in mountainous Afghanistan, where the high altitude and temperatures have limited the use of the Black Hawk. The Chinook also delivered aid and evacuated the critically injured from some of the most inaccessible and remote parts of Pakistan after the earthquake in 2005. Since then, toy Chinooks have become favorite playthings of Pakistani children, a symbol of American goodwill. And to the no way 22 SEALS on one helo crowd, this was a pinned down immediate evac call by the Rangers. Hell, you couldn't have physically prevented them from being on that chopper. I guarantee there were 200 other Spec op warriors trying to get on also. As to what actually happened, who knows. I lean towards the Stinger theory. Carry on. You brainwashed piece of empire building banker whore shit...I'll carry on....while you remain a bitch. |

There is something sickeningly wrong when honorable, valorous, disciplined, elite men are sent to their deaths by an effete commander-in-chief who spent his own youth not parading at Annapolis, fast-roping out of helicopters, or crawling through the mud under barbed wire during live-fire training exercises, but rather, according to his own admission in his autobiography, smoking marijuana, snorting cocaine, contemplating shooting heroin with a needle, and hanging out with Marxists, radical blacks, and structural feminists so as not to appear to be a "sell-out." President Obama could not pass a background check to be a $12-an-hour deputy sheriff in a county jail, let alone become a Navy SEAL, but it is he who commands them to their deaths."

I doubt a 757 flying at 325+ mph into the face of a granite mountain would explode every body on board. If you took one of the rotor out, without it to counter the torque.. it will rotate violently and come down really hard, equally catastrophic to the passengers. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 348319 Canada 08/12/2011 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From what I have read, Seals had their own equipment including helicopters and they would never consider more than six Seals aboard any helicopter, just for the simple reason the loss would be great. The training expense and many years of experience makes these people very valuable. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1478193If they were ordered to board that National Guard chopper, they would have balked, for the reasons above. Saying that, I do not think these 22 Seals were alive when put into the chopper and blown up on the ground to create the appearance of a chopper being downed by enemy fire. These people were murdered by friendly's which is consistent with the formula tptb follow. That is, if you can't control them, particularly their mouth, sacrifice them. I also believe that some of these men were dead following the crash in Pakistan during the phony Bin Laden fiasco. The bodies were preserved by the Pakistanis and turned over to us after negotiation. They put these ones into the chopper and blew it, or, they made that up too. There was no crash as they were already dead from the crash in Pakistan. Parents, are not allowed to view the remains. That means there will be no civilian Autopsies conducted. These guys could have been machine gunned to death, and we will not know the answers without investigations, which we know our Government does not want. I'm sorry if it seems that I am focused on conspiracy facts but I hear this is the place to vent them, to what conclusion I do not know. I guess if we bring the truth to the light of day, we will overcome the onslaught of these dark ones who are losing their grip. Things will get worse until they finally reach the conclusion that, you can't beat God! Good thinking. It's pretty clear that there are two sides in this and they are not what murdoch's media says. |
