Reply #6: I Think You Missed My Irony [View All]

[KharmaTrain]

My coffee must not be working well enough this morning. So far I think we've lost 200 or so troops in these helicopter shootdowns...losing 10 to 12 at a time. Yes, those helicopters can be sitting ducks to a well-trained fighter with an RPG or some other anti-aircraft missile. Actually I'm surprised more aren't shot down...that was some of the most demoralizing damage the Mujahadin did to the Soviet...made them afraid to get into any convoy for fear of ambush, afraid to get in any helicopter for fear of being shot down.

Cheers...
