Ummm, I am an innocent civilian, and I carry a weapon, no contradiction there....

Anyway, I admit I've only read a handful of posts on here. Most of those I have read seem to be going off topic or people being downright
childish.

Thanks for your critique of everyone else from that pedestal your standing on., I'm sure someone might have found that helpful.
Who has info on why these individuals were being tracked to begin with? What intel was there? Was there a certain vehicle that was being sought after?
A certain group? Were they involved in an attack?

If you bothered to read the thread, you would have seen that ground forces called in the choppers to help them out when they were attacked. The
attackers fled before the choppers got there. The intel from the ground troops told them what direction they were in and what vehicle.
