Well i have read all the posts and thought i would reply as to why i posted it under the heading i used..
War is war and people die, but even if I was on the ground shooting at it and took it down, I would still feel compassion towards the crew as they spun down, because at the end of the day I wouldn't wish a death on anyone like that, rather a quick bang bang your dead, hence my original post and title to the thread.. For all we know it could have just been carrying people from A to B, we just don't know who was in it and the circumstances.
I could have shown a link to the US Marine CH-46 that was hit by a SAM in Iraq that turns away on fire and descending as they try to flee the scene, that we know was carry some guys going home on leave, they died, compassion works both ways.
