    it was the 1st thing that came to my mind, after the U.S..

    Thing is, If Netenyahu died in a helicopter accident, Iran would be 1st to come to my mind there... then Russia, then the Palestinians .. then "rouge elements" in Israel military.

    is that crazy?

    When were getting ready to go out on an exercise, I was listening to what one of the Majors had to say to the other pilots:

    There are helicopter pilots who have crashed. And there are helicopter pilots who are going to. That stuck in my head every single time I got on one of those damned things

    Yes. Jumping to conclusions without the facts followed by spreading guesswork as fact usually is. Not the same as discussing "likelihoods", having identified them as guesswork.

    so NOTHING came to your mind as the 1st 2nd or third likelihood Gunny?
    Get real.
    just because you don't like where my the lack of evidence leads me don't pretend you didn't have any thoughts about possibly causes.
    And were only happy to see dead Iranians.
