It's ridiculous that we're having so many helicopter crashes. If they're not being shot down, what's the damn problem? Eight years of no new parts for maintenance during the Clinton abomination?

Eight years of no new parts for maintenance during the Clinton abomination?

Probably. It's going to take us a long time to recover from all the damage he clintons have inflicted on this country, including this.

Even well maintained helicopters don't respond well to landing in a hole.

Part of the problem is the lack of maintenance and parts for 8 years.

However, this copter was apparently part of a troop movement that happened late in the day or at night. It was landing in rough country not on a landing pad.

If your helicopter lands on the edge of a hole or in a hole, things go KaBoom!
