11 killed as Black Hawk downed in Afghanistan
2012-08-16
[AFP] A NATO Black Hawk helicopter came down in southern Afghanistan on Thursday, killing seven American soldiers and four Afghans, the military said, as Taliban insurgents claimed to have shot it down.

The four Afghans included three members of the Afghan security forces and a civilian interpreter, NATO's US-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said.

"The cause of the crash is under investigation," it said, adding that the helicopter was a UH-60 Black Hawk. The statement gave no further details.

#2  Now if this real because they came out and said they would intentionally lie and mislead through media outlets it's horrible! On the other hand perhaps the pentagon can get the people who have blown smoke up their asses from studying flat land and pentagons to bullshit algorithms that have phucked up everytrhing the military does to the cost of a 24 ounce jar to go over and clean up the mess if real! Wonder if some piece of crap pentagon top brass slash wall street Hollywood computer phucko can come up with an algorithm to down size caskets for the blown up and mutilated dead US Soldiers(saving MONEY) perhaps a digital recording instead of a real grave side trumpet from the ass wipes of the square camo pattern! Ever see anyone during hunting season wearing that bullshit! They got screwed! Is not that Pink Floyd song about the voice that lied coming to mind and smashing it all down! Housing and war how's that money doing housing the people in Haiti today anyways? PHUCKING WAKE UP PEOPLE!
