Chopper crash in Afghanistan

[LuckyWinner]

Just getting a little upset about the news coverage Im hearing about. They keep talking about the SEAL's that gave their lives, but you dont hear about the Special Force's Soldiers or the Pilot...or the Copilot...or the Crew Chief that were all Army Soldiers. Im not trying to take anything away from the SEAL's but would like the media to cover all the loss of life. The reason Im so upset is not only because Im in the Army, but I have been envolved with the physical recovery of the bodies and it has been the hardest thing Ive ever had to do. By the way there were also some Afghan Nationals and a working Dog that also lost their lives. Please pray for ALL their families, Navy, Army, and Afghan Army. God bless these Fallen Hero's.

I agree. The media always look to the dramatic instead of from the heart.
I watched CNN yesterday and the story of the 10 year older who asked his Mother why there was no mention of his father( Pilot of the Chinnok)
He then wrote into the "Iview" section and uploaded a pic of his father.
Brought tears to my eyes.
All I can say to you is how I feel and every time I hear of some serviceman being killed it takes a little piece of my heart with it.
My Thanks to you for your service to this country.

David,

Totally agree, the media on this has been IMHO pretty limited in general as well, it really is sad. Hang in their, our thoughts are with you guys!!
