There was recently an attack in the area, the helicopters thought they were carrying RPG's, and engaged appropriately. It's incredibly sad, but I don't think they were being careless.

They looked like they were carrying guns. It was a mistake. It was tragic.

This literally happens everyday. War sucks.

We don't see it everyday, that's why it's news
