Question by bettysdad: Why are their frequent crashes of military helicopters?
I understand that some are hit by hostile fire, But many are reported as mechanical or pilot error.
I live in an area with loads of helicopter traffic: multiple overlapping police agencies, flights to oil rigs, private buisinessmen, some military, and (believe it or not, the largest number of helicopter flights around here is) the movement of cancelled checks from one bank to another.
In the 26 years I’ve lived here I can’t recall a helicopter crash. So why are our people i n Iraq getting killed? Is there something wrong with the aircraft? Are the pilots not experienced enough?
We lost 13 soldiers this wknd and their not sure if it was fired on.
Whay are our people dying?

Insurgents keep shooting them down. helicopters are much slower than planes and fly much lower, also our fighter jets have ejection seats and usually only carry 1-2 soldiers
