Out of respect for the Religion of Peace, the bodies of these men will no doubt be buried at sea, and pictures of their demise withheld from public view or scrutiny.



Carry on.

Why are they posting this dumb shit? Why give them elevated status by putting that information on TV? Insurgents die all the fucking time, unless it's a big Taliban commander or Al-Qaeda terrorist, I don't think we should make a big fuss about it. They don't deserve it.

NATO air strike kills Taliban insurgents who down US helicopter in Afghanistan - Reuters



FLASH: NATO air strike kills Taliban insurgents who "downed" helicopter in worst single incident of the Afghan war

According to the report, a highly concerted effort was made to track these fuckers down. Then an air strike was called in to fry em. I would imagine anyone who is directly responsible for killing 30 of our people including 22 US Navy SEALs, would quickly become marked men. As for releasing the info? I would think America would like to know that the people who are responsible for killing her sons have assumed room temperature (after they reached baking temperature of course).

No those of us are confused how do they know the actual man that shot down the chopper was killed.  Did they take a photo of him before he shot the chopper down?  Or is this just a we killed a guy carrying an RPG, so lets just make this a feel good story.

I wasn't saying anyone in this thread was making that claim. I meant, ARFCOM in general and in previous threads.





My guess is that they got intel from interrogations and probably with dumbass taliban members who wanted to puff their chest out and boast about it to their friends. Complete guess on my part though.

The report said they had hard intel. I would surmise it was signals intelligence. These insurgents love their radios and can't keep from yapping on them. You can only imagine the level of radio chatter among these goat fuckers after they brought down the Chinook. Their transmissions were probably already being monitored. So it doesn't seem too unlikely they used their radio communications to track them down.

Insurgent gets a lucky shot and hits chinook, becomes a local celebrity among other insurgents, intel gets info and passes to secret squirrel ninjas who find him and then call in an air strike.

Edited for OPSEC.  What should be well known by them (Talis) and figured out by putting two and two together, obviously has not.  Let's let them have their (you know what) and don't tip them off so our guys can give them presents when they (you know what).

I don't believe this. If everyone died in the crash how would they know who it was to begin with? Did he get on his Facebook and brag about it? Tweet it? What?

Edit: I do believe we killed someone though, probably just not the guy who shot down the helicopter.

Here's my thought.  If they knew WHO did it, they should have been close enough to get him and prevent it the first time around.

We generally don't have that kind of info unless we're already aiming heavy artillery.
