BLackhawk shot down

its the first video on the playlist. i was told about this from my dad, sitting in the VA hospital. it looks as though a blackhawk was shot down and there were 12 men on the chopper, 8 of whom were american soldiers. they believe it was a surface to air missle that shot the chopper down. i wonder where the terrorists couldve got a AA missle?

* note= if its not the right movie lemme know, ill find it again.

Link works fine for me. I'm pretty sure that the Iraqis couldhave gotten one of these on the black market, possibly Russian surplus.

Doesn't work on firefox for me... on ietab it does... but it doesn't show any AA hitting a blackhawk, just info I could have read on the news sites without setting through 30 seconds of adverts.

Meh. You aren't missing much... Microsoft tend not to be the most balanced news provider. Even if it was an accident, I wouldn't be suprised if various unverified anonymous factoids appear until it's a dead certainty.

Here's the reading version.

Is it just me or does the guy in the video say "...you will have civilian contractors, you will have civilian soldiers..." at one point?

Surely there's no such thing as a civilian soldier.

Shows the same looping 2 blackhawks taking off and flying over some streach of water.

And some old geezer reporter. You're not missing much.

For me it works sometimes on Firefox (it worked the first time, but no scrollbar along the bottom so I couldn't go back and check something - second time it didn't work, so I tried IE tab, third time it worked perfectly). With IE tab the video plays but no audio.

Do they count as civilians?

I s'pose they do. It just seems a bit weird, civilian soldiers.

This war has seen the biggest use of mercenaries paid for by the U.S. government and private contractors in moderne history.
The PSD have private rules of engagement, and they tend to be way more reckless in combat.

Seems like a stupid thing to do in such a delicate situation.

lol that wasn't news, that entire thing was speculations.....if they boiled it down to the facts it would be "Helicopter crash-men dead" that's it....haha it may have been a rouge midget stuck in the transmission....we don't know yet but we are waiting to confirm. Yes, it has been confirmed a rouge midget with a anti-bush tattoo brought down the helicopter.
