mygod, it's happeneing again. the helicopter was brought down by missile and crashed into the city of basra. iraqui firefighters have stated there are four bodies seen. the toops are trying their best to get there, but i fear too late. there is dancing and cheering and stone throwing in the streets. i say get their AK 42's or whatever they are and shove them where the sun won't shine for a long time. i want to say more but would be inciting violence.
my condolences to all of you who must be feeling every horrendous second ofd this. i can barely type as my hands are shaking too much. i put on sky news to be confronted with the nrews. this is exactly what happened to me when my brother was on the herc on jan 05. it was'nt an assisting officer it was sky news that i found out from. this response from the iraqui people is what happened then, it keeps happening all i can say is why?? let's get you all home. there will be a family who at the moment don't know anything as we type and soon will be going through the hell that is my life. i can't get those poor brave souls who must have been terrified. we talk about our technology superiority well b
to that.
i'm so very very sorry. god help them all and those who are now in the thick of it as we speak trying to get them back. may god be with you.

Of course all of our thoughts are with the families and the troops still out there doing a job that doesn't get much support in the media.
Edited for sensitivity, wasn't the best time.

My thoughts are with all those involved with this terrible loss.
As ever, I admire the courage of the Army guys called upon to protect the crash and each other. Our thoughts are with these guys too.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunwrd I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, —and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew—
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
God Bless

Big respect
My heart goes out to all family, friends and workmates who are waiting for more news. It’s a terrible time for all.
Can I just add a huge thank you for all the guys on the ground at the crash site? If I had a loaded gun and people were throwing rocks at me while laughing because some of our guys had been killed..... I admire your self control and professionalism. Thank you for making us proud.
