Dismal Large CH47 Dismounted Air Assault Iraq Part 1/2

First, what-in-the-hell are DARK GREEN CH-47 Chinooks of the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) "Screaming Eagles" doing flying in broad daylight in BLUE SKY TANK Iraq? Do we WANT TO GET SHOT DOWN? ALL Army aircraft should be painted in SKY GRAY colors.

Next, they should be fitted with wings and retired LTC Chuck Jarnot's propturbines to fly above 250+ mph as "SpeedChinooks"

ALL personnel inside the CH-47 should have Butler bail-out parachutes clipped to their LBE/selves:

ALL personnel on ALL U.S. military aircraft should have bail-out capabilities as we used to have before we became cowards living in denial around the early 1970s. Here's an example of when common sense was still in use:

On July 16, 1966 a C-119 departed Jacksonville Naval Air Station @ approximately 8:45 PM. On board were members of 20th SFGA,

10 recruits from Tampa, 20 troops from Miami and 4 crew members. Aproximately 15 minutes into the flight at an altitude of 7,000 feet The left engine developed mechanical problems and was engulfed in flames. The plane started decending as the pilot fought for control and activated the extinguisher on the engine. At approximately 4,500 feet the pilot rang 2 bells to prepare for a crash landing. At about 3,000 ft the engine became engulfed in flames again he rang 3 bells to bail out. Once the doors were open in the rear all 34 persons became members of the Caterpillar Club by jumping with emergency parachutes. All 34 survived and only a few had minor injuries. The 10 recruits from Tampa all went on to Basic training, Special Forces Training and jump school where they all completed there training in 1966-1967 @ Ft. Bragg , N.C. and Ft. Benning, Ga.

Thanks to the crew of the Aircraft from the 357th Troop Carrier Squadron and especially to Major Robert C. Coyle for his professionalism and pilot skills during this emergency situation. Without him we would have all died that night. Also thanks to his crew: Capt. Charles B. Dowling, MSGT John A. Sandlin, A2C John B. Schlotman. Also To Colonel Gray for his cool headness in a very tense situation where he stood tall and led his men to safety.

Inside should be reduced-size M113 "Mini-Gavins" so Sky Soldiers don't have to either 1 mph foot-slog exposed or lack armored, cross-country mobility and heavy, vehicular firepower:

The inadequate standard of individual camouflage is troubling. There's no excuse for this, most Soldiers have been to the Expert Infantryman's Badge Camouflage Thyself station and got a "GO".

The infantry clusterfucking and running off the CH-47s in single-file and not taking an immediate perimeter position is also piss-poor TTP not in the "Gold Book" but maybe in the Gold Brick mannual written by some E4.

WHAT RIGHT LOOKS LIKE (apply similiar technique when exiting CH-47 rear ramp)

Yeah because you'd never be able to see a huge helicopter painted in desert camoflauge...

[GrahamGallaher]

agreed to your suggestions about safety, but people who oppose the war refuse to fund it, therefore making it even more dangerous for our heroic troops, accomplishing not peace but chaos

[anthonygriffin2]

The music is not, as stated "Incubus" by New Skin...it's "Welcome to the machine" by Pink Floyd

[ch47f82nd]

ps the ch47 was made in viatnam where it was all jungle and most of the delta models are just charlie models with upgrades thats why their green.

[cocaininmybrain]

[boots920]

Isn't it great your troops can play in the sandbox 6000 miles away while the citizens become homeless and starve in the streets.  I don't think Caligula could have planned it anybetter.

[acamarillo956]

What is the name of the song that is in this video?

[BlacktailFA]

Hmm, let's see here;

pale brown terrain...

creamy white buildings...

Of course --- we should paint out choppers we use in this area DARK GREEN!!!

Idiots.
