Thanks for your comment. It is exactly how I feel. I have been sick at heart all day. This is so horrible.

I think I know where you got the "wobbly" term, 'RoseofTexas'. We will stay the course.

I swear to God, we've lost more people over there to go**amned chopper crashes than from enemy action.
WHEN are our gloriously ingenious defense contractors going to design a helicopter that can actually work in such sandy conditions? Maybe if we throw more billions at their sorry asses????
This just pisses me off. What a waste of some terrific young people due to shi**y design...........

Don't worry, they will. Why anyone watches a bunch of shallow idiots on stage is beyone me.
To: EaglesUpForever
Where is it documented that they are cancelled. Someone on free republic put a sign up, but it was his recommendation.

Are things not going well or is this all to be expected?
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
The Special Operations are doing some incredible stuff: I know, I am the son of a ranger. I just worry about my friends. Our families are all close and this just kills us. We are all very proud and send kits for the guys and gals. Just hard not to worry.

To: Pushi
Oops, sorry. You're right, I can find no evidence (short of some earlier posts on FR that said they'd been canceled). Well, we can still hope.
To: rintense
No. According to Fox News, it wad an Air Force Black Hawk in a medical rescue configuration.
To: max_rpf
Hey Freepers, this is war and somebody once said it better than I can: war is Hell.
We are committed.
Our cause is righteous.
May each sacrifice make us more resolute and determined to walk the rough road to Victory.

Many of those fighting are fearfull of the RG. After the UN "advised" the US to stop fighting in Gulf War I - those that began to rise up against Saddam were mercilessly slaughtered. Now - they don't know if the US is going to follow through with their words.
I don't blame them, I blame Iraq - the bastard will meet his maker soon!
We will defeat this evil thanks to the bravery of our Military. God Bless them....
