Obviously, the Norks shot at the chopper near the NK/SK border, and it limped back to Okinawa.

Are you serious?

#1 Have you looked at a map?

#2 Have you ever been on a flaming or disabled helicopter? You put down right now!!

#3 There are many US bases in South Korea that could have been used for an emergency landing.

The NORKS didn't do this, the helicopter did.

It would have flown to one of the air bases in Guam instead, but the crew was afraid that the extra weight would cause the island to tip over.
