SASless,
You're absolutely correct. It shames me to say that I nearly clicked off the forum when I realised it wasn't a British helo, but your post has quite correctly driven home the point that it is incumbent on all of us sat discussing such events from the safety of our own homes/offices never to become desensitized to the huge personal tragedies being faced by relatives, friends and colleagues of military personnel on an increasingly and alarmingly regular basis.
Condolences to all involved.
