I don’t think its in the tinfoil area. I remember watching all the coverage the night they died. I was single at the time living in an apartment and was mesmerized by the coverage. Nothing I saw or read since would lead me to believe the wreck was anything other than a well organized hit. I think she was an airhead. I forgot about the Korean landmines. I thought the Afghan landmines were her main cause celebre. Now Harry did a brief stint in that hellhole on a helicopter crew where he said he had pulled the trigger on a bunch of Taliban. Maybe he has guilt feelings now. I used to work with a guy who was in the Navy in the early ‘80’s and was stationed on a ship that took part in the shelling of Beirut after the hajjis bombed the Marine Barracks. My friend was a Gunner’s Mate and was offered TDY to a Marine helicopter as a door gunner doing strafe-the-camel-jockey duty in the foothills. He said he got a bunch of them on several occasions. Never felt a shred of guilt and wished he could have gotten more of them. Hezbollah or whatever Iranian proxies.
When didn’t have Marines to man the guns, the gunners’s mates were ready and did a great job.
