You're right, Dustoff, we don't know.
The only facts available to us were those in the summary report, which attributed the crash first to pilot error, with other contributory factors (as usual). Then they get postumously promoted. This felt, to me, like a bad lesson, so I said so. I assume you have more experience in military rotary operations - I have none. If this was a kinder, gentler Marine Corps, it's not something this tax payer has seen much of. You are welcome to your opinion; I stated my concern.
