I think if the President said a two star flag officer (or above) must be a passenger on each helicopter flown in Iraq, we would see a stop to this nonsense.

Helicopters are like taking candy from a kid -- proved in Afghanistan against the Russians, in Somalia against the US Army, in Vietnam, and in Iraq.

This is another case of the US Army saying, "We want an air force also."

Mr. President, please ground all helicopter ops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

They use helicopters to medivac our wounded...they can't ground them.

Mr. President, please ground all helicopter ops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

You are a real coward, you know!
