What was NATOs and Obama’s role in the distribution
of night vision to the Islamic enemy?

Why were top level heroes sent on a routine
mission in a vulnerable chopper after giving out the
night vision equipment?

http://sporting-goods.shop.ebay.com/Night-Vision-Optics-/40970/i.html?LH_Price=250..800%40c&rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=1000&_nkw=night%20vision%20goggles&_fln=1&_mPrRngCbx=1&_ssov=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282

Lots of night vision goggles available on eBay for $250+

“top level heroes” do “routine” missions all the time.

All “choppers” are vulnerable.

An M1 Abrams would have helped, but they don’t hover very well.

This may have been a Taliban lucky shot or it may have been caused by an intel leak. Assume it was a leak and investigate vigorously!

We've been arming Pakistan and Afghanistan with NVGs for ten years. So, plenty. We also tolerate a large amount of theft by our allies of our supply lines, where NVGs turn up missing.

Because it's what we've been doing for ten years. We lose people every day to these tactics. It was just a matter of time before we lost enough in one day for most people to notice.

If you guys are just now getting around to getting angry, well, better late than never, I guess.
