Don't count?

SASless

It will be hard in the future to ever match the number of helos crashed and people killed or wounded in that war and amazingly how fast dirt went to cover that loss. What's worse today are those who minimalize their loss because they were 'just soldiers’ and did what was expected of them. True enough, but as long as those of us who were there can still remember people and places where they died 'over there', I resent the way some present day civilian helo pilots brush-off our military helo pilot's experiences and sacrifices as seemingly below that 'harsh environment' in which they "must" perform today. Yeah, right.

Just saying.
