    "31 killed, including 25 SEALs, in Afghanistan helicopter crash

    ABC News reported that as many as 25 Navy SEALs were on the aircraft at the time. The other casualties included seven Afghan Special Forces troops, an interpreter, five helicopter crew members and one dog."

    Thanks, I didn't see that in the article I was reading. SEAL or otherwise, it's still sad.

    Every loss is sad =[ I hope for their strength to hold when they mourn.

    Sad to hear. I wonder what happened? I mean, mechanical failure or shot down?

    According to the news report, they were shot down.

    Research: still the best game in town.
