Sorry, but I'm done trying to fix your reading comprehension. If you want additional English lessons from me, you can pay me for them.

Why would they have to abandon the helos?


The Little Birds go inside the C-130 Hercules to get back home. The C-130s got stuck in the sand and could not go home, so the Little Bird Helos couldn't go home, either.

The aircraft that extracted the Soldiers are too small to carry the Little Bird.

Gutsy Call! POTUS Trump should be praised for making this Gutsy Call !

So that little copter can hold six men. Does it has any armaments besides those men?

The attack variant (AH-6) has mini guns and hydra rockets. The MH-6 is just for transport but has mounts for machine guns if they need them.

Why no… I’ve never heard of TRIA… Or the federal program that created it after 9/11.

It was ultimately created to prevent insurance companies from simply putting acts of terror under the war exclusion in the future. This is for commercial interests, private home insurance covers terror but not war.

The important part is that it’s not automatic denial of coverage. You seem to be glossing over the war declaration thing.

Wars aren’t declared because Congress has to do it and the can’t agree on anything.

Absent a Pearl Harbor type event you will probably not see a declaration of war again.

You can declare war against an entity as much as a country.

It’s hard to declare war on Al queda, and they weren’t a state actor, they were dispersed across the globe. It was a terrorist network not a state actor.

Sort of like democrats who say antifa is an idea.

I ask congress to declare that since the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001. A state of war has existed between the United States of America and the entity of Al-Qaeda.

Even with Pearl Harbor one senator voted against declaring war and it was the first woman elected to the house. Jeannette Rankin

Seeing that the 427th SOS was involved with their C295s. Can’t wait to read about their performance. Might be an incentive to revitalize smaller tactical transport aircraft.

No, Congress did not formally declare war on al-Qaeda. Instead, three days after the September 11, 2001 attacks, Congress passed the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) (Public Law 107-40). This authorized the president to use all "necessary and appropriate force" against those responsible
