Plain truth pure and simple.

The crews of Helicopters Hotel Two Six and Crazy Horse One Eight did the job they were supposed to do.

At every stage of of the incident they reported what they were witnessing and on each target as it was identified they requested permission to engage, they sought clearance to fire. They did all that knowing full well that there were US ground troops in the area who had already come under attack. They did that knowing full well that their conversations and their reports were being recorded and that their gun camera footage would be reviewed during debrief after landing. They did that knowing everything they said and di would be put under a microscope and examined.

I will say it again - I would rather watch gun camera footage of insurgents and those who help them being killed than watch Reuters footage of US Forces and Iraqi Policemen being killed.

No war crime - No murder.
