It was a rough day for our troops (and U.S. contractors)in AFG. RIP.

KABUL, Afghanistan - A series of helicopter crashes killed 14 Americans in insurgent-wracked Afghanistan on Monday, the U.S. military said. It was one of the deadliest days of the war for U.S. troops.

In the first crash, a chopper went down in the west of the country after leaving the scene of a firefight with insurgents, killing 10 Americans — seven troops and three civilians working for the government. Eleven American troops, one U.S. civilian and 14 Afghans were also injured.
In a separate incident in the south, two other U.S. choppers collided while in flight, killing four American troops and wounding two more, the military said.
 
So very sad.....RIP to those lost and deepest condolences to their loved ones, friends and fellow servicemen and women. :(

Military personnel have my utmost respect and admiration and events like this make it even more so.
