What happened?

Is that from the downed chopper?

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile

Completely staged photo.

By all means, be more concerned about the hardware than all the guys that DIED.

Chinook crash?

Dont think some people knew it was from the helicopter.

That photo was posted on one of the major news sites today - CBS, NBC or ABC & is supposedly from the wreck site of our helicopter shot down by terrorists and resulting in the death of 30+ soldiers including SEAL TEAM 6 members.

OMG what an happened to it?

May our boys rest in peace and the animals responsible for it burn in hell for all eternity.



 

I hate the middle east.

This changed my mind.

After handling hundeds, fitting, owning both of these products, mfingar is 100% correct.

MA1 Dougandara sounds familiar as hell....

A good friend of ours lost their oldest son in that crash.  These pics piss me off to no end.  It bothers me to think it could be his weapon, and secondly that these scumbags are free to rape the crash.

So many good men lost. A lot of time, experience and rank there too. My prayers to the friends and family of our fallen.

A co-worker lost her son.

To hell with the gun,just a piece of metal.

I pray that the operator that carried that weapon went out quickly and did not suffer.

Well said.

Heath's cousin wrote the movie that were filming now and there will be a little something in the movie for him .
this has hit close to home .

It must have been an extremely hard impact to do that much damage.

Damn, is that from the impact or the fire?

God Bless our service men and women.

God rest the souls of those who die so we might have liberty.

Where's the 3rd pin for the auto-sear?

Getting mighty dusty in this thread.  

R.I.P . May God protect all of those serving our great country.


Is the HK 416 issued only to special ops?

Looks like the same taliban inspecting this wreckage from this video:

Of course, can't be verified that it was the actual Chinook.

OP, you really give a fuck?  It's just a fucking tool. My fucking God, why do I come here?  It's for the funny and informative threads.

so assuming that is it...

i am assuming we would have gotten in there and recovered any remains prior to these guys being able to wander around and poke at the wreckage with their sticks, correct?

Who knows, none of us were there.  I'm not watching that video either.

RIP

Damn
