In the News

Army in the news. Now this is a combat video from the helicopter's camera. Although it was edited for time, and the camera shoots in b&w infrared it is still a little graphic. But if you still want to watch here is the link.

If you don't watch it just know that the reason they were showing this video was to prove that our Army isn't shooting everything they see. They are trying to avoid collateral damage. The pilots in this video check 6 times before firing, and then they mention moving to avoid excess damage. Overall the completed the mission with no US loss of life and no structures were damaged.

GO ARMY!!!

Is this actually from J's bird, or just an Apache?
