Why can people on ATS not just accept that in war’s helicopters get shot down?

I know that but if people are looking for a conspiracy behind every news bulletin then pretty soon they are going to become so detached form reality they won’t know their reptilians form their builderbergs and lose sight of the real conspiracies of the world.

First they tell us they killed OBL even though he's been dead for 10 years.

Then they tell us the team that killed him have been killed.

Then they tell us the insurgents that killed the team that killed OBL have been killed.

Somebody pass me my rubber boots, it's getting deeper and deeper...

edit on 10-8-2011 by Signals because: (no reason given)

If you read the official story, the guys that were killed on the Chinook were part of the team.... but they WERE NOT the guys that killed OBL...

The guys that killed OBL are still alive and kicking.

These guys were part of Seal team 6, but were not on the raid, or even in the choppers that were involved in the raid on OBL....
.......And now you know the rest of the story - Paul Harvey R.I.P.

No conspiracy more like someone screwed the pooch!

Hope they take him out of a commanding position because whomever he was he got those guys whacked.

Soon?

Look around ATS, much of it has become detached, having gone off the deep end years ago.

The general conspiracy forum has become a hive of "conspiracy fans" with buzzwords repeated ad nauseam.

Its funny you should say that, I have noticed the same thing about people using conspiracy buzz words. I wrote a thread not long after I joined ATS and talked about how people had became lazy with what I called “conspiracy norms” such as claiming everything is a “False flag” or that every UFO was a ET and so on without looking for alternatives. I suppose it is these buzz words that are to blame, it annoys me we need some originality.

I think there are more conspiracy fans rather than conspiracy theorists on ATS.

Ironically allot of the Conspiracy fans will agree with that statement mistaking themselves for conspiracy theorists.

Ok i spell it out for you.
Commanding officer sent the team in with NO attack helicopters and no covering fire.
Into a hot LZ.
So very bad decision on his part.
Get it?
Got it?
Good.

nothing wrong with seeing a conspiracy everywhere...I of course don't usually feel this way myself except on a few subjects...my own opinion is that such a thing would have a better chance of outting a real conspiracy anyways...so don't get mad...get glad...

And how do you know that, how do you know that they didn’t have helicopter support or that the support was available. Even if they did have gunship support the Chinook could have still crashed your point doesn’t really mean anything, it does not point to any kind of grand cover up.

And thank you for spelling it to me, I was struggling to understand you riddles.

How do you know that these were the exact same SEALs that killed Osama? There were also members of other services there. Read the original thread. You may be enlightened

What. how do you know that. Do you have a secret clearance. No you do not know that. I think that you should know how we roll. there was definatly another Helicoptor. Helos always roll in twos. There are no lone man missions like in the movies. Even for black OPs we always double everything. In the community there is a saying "Two is One and One is None" I can tell you that there was another chopper its standard operating procedure. Unfortunatly sometimes choppers get shot down. We know who it was becasuse
A. The taliban like the street thugs that they are. Always advertise what they do.
B. In a country that poor it is very very easy to get intel. We just pay them. These people would give up their own mother for a dollar.
Please get your facts straight.

I like that response dude, what unit you serving in?

By the way Flag for you. Even though I completely disagree with you. This is another Troop Bashing thread. It seems that this is the new flavor. But knowing that the american public is really not behind us. gives me a new perspective on this great country and its citizens. I still LOVE you all, matter of fact my Love has grown because of what I have heard and seen here in ATS. This is true freedom at work. I jst wish that those of you that troop bash would understand that. We can talk bad about the government and not worry about retaliation. Try that in some of the other countries. If you lived in CHINA you wouldnt even have the internet.

Ok common sense here .
Who ever shot down the seal team escaped right?
If there had been escort he would have been dead on the spot right?
Semper fi

Again how do you know that, you are making assumptions and even your assumptions don’t add up to anything? Even assuming that the helicopter was on its own, so what, absence of a support helicopter is not evidence of a grand cover up.

I HAVE SAID NOTHING ABOUT A COVERUP!
U nkow what never mind.

reply to post by shtf2012


Not necesarily. Like the cowards that they are they use sneaky tactics and blend right back into their landscape. Word is this happened close to a village and it was almost imposssible to retaliate without injuring civilians. It is real easy to step outside of your mudhut fire off a shot then go back to smoking your Hookah and abusing your women. Contrary to popular belief we have something called PID its called positive identification and it is part of our Rules of engagement. If you dont have a clear target and are not 100% sure of where the fire is coming from or if innocent lives are in Jeopardy we wont shoot. Trust me on this.....
