FH.... As the Cowboy Wisdom quotes remind us.... "It ain't bragging if you done it!".
Making the "right decisions" is the right thing to do...or to be done.... depending upon if you are talking about the past, present, or future.
As much as it offends your sensitivities.....it appears two of us missed missed many great opportunities to do that as evidenced by the crashed Blackhawk.
As in all of these events there are lessons to be learned.... and all too often re-learned....and put into practice.
How many opportunities did these two Pilots, both experienced US Army Helicopter Pilots, have to make just one single "Right Decision" and managed to screw it up big time?
What was it that caused them to finally wind up laying on their side in a crashed helicopter?
If we find out that it was a mechanical failure then they get a Pass....but if it as the circumstantial evidence available is as thought.....they really did mess up big time.
