    I flew around on my last tour. As a major my assigned weapon was a 9mm. The helicopter crew keep a couple of M-16s for cases like me. We always saw light flashes below us- Iraqis signaling to the bad guys that we were coming. Our control was always an illusion.

    Well, it looks like it may have been a special ops craft. Darn.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Once the Army notifies the family members they will release the names of those killed.

    Agreed.

    "The military said the crash, which is under investigation, "does not appear to be a result of enemy activity.""
