I guess maybe I'm a bit naive, but this is just stunning, to me. The book writing and video game consulting is one thing, but it just doesn't seem possible that people in any special operations unit could be using meth, heroin, marijuana, or cocaine. The kind of culture failings that could lead to widespread use of those is horrific to think about.
On a different topic, "If you take, for example the media coverage of operations Redwings and Extortion, you would believe that two different Chinook helicopters were shot down with RPGs. RPGs are not capable of taking out a helicopter as large as a Chinook—or only under very rare circumstances. For it to happen twice should raise questions. It is more likely that the Chinooks were shot down by stinger missiles."
I thought Extortion 17 was supposedly hit directly in the rear rotor by an RPG, and the one in Red Wings supposedly took one right up the open rear ramp that hit a fuel bladder or something similar. Lucky shots, but it hardly strains belief, does it?
