The game is starting to get rough. The enemy (domestic) will demand immediate surrender.
Looks like the relief Chinook flew into a prepared field of fire. The ground patrol was brought under fire at that place and time so that the relief Chinook, following a predictable pattern, would be destroyed. Probably an ambush at the intended landing zone. The country probably was chosen so that ambushes could be set at all usable landing zones. Reminds me of the old days.
The enemy (foreign) ran a pretty good operation. Looks like we have become predictable.
Time for a little "tit for tat", or, vulgarly, "payback time". Bet you there has been plenty so far. Bet you there are a bunch of good men on the ground taking care of business this second. Your mind is your most important weapon.
Yeah....time to smite the Moabites.
