KABUL, Afghanistan — A U.S. Chinook helicopter (search) that crashed in eastern Afghanistan was likely shot down by hostile fire, and the fate of 17 American service members aboard was unclear, the U.S. military said Wednesday. The troops were on a mission against Al Qaeda in eastern Afghanistan (search) when the helicopter went down on Tuesday in mountainous terrain near Asadabad, in Kunar province.

I keep hoping for some good news. Its a big chopper. A common site in my hometown.

We are at war. We must be sturdy against loses.
They will occur, despite our best efforts.
The men there understand that, so should we.

God be with our soldiers.
