Re: Major push in Libya imminent

Well, they are going to find out very soon that missiles aren't the only thing that can bring down attack choppers. Some have been shot down in Iraq and Afghanistan by small arms fire or RPG's. If they go in, some will likely be lost if not to hostile fire then mechanical problems. I wonder what they will do if they crew is captured by the Libyan forces?

I expect these choppers will be firing from well afar, and they will be in

stealth mode. Unless someone is right below them and sees them (at night) it's

doubtful many of these will be shot down.
