Osprey down in Afghanistan

[jslugman]

Just heard a quick blurb that a CV-22 went down in southern Afghanistan, initial reports state 4 dead (3 military 1 civilian).

Although I feel extremely bad for the crew that was lost I also feel this is gonna be another example for those who think the V-22 is a waste of government resources ,the V-22 fills a perfectly good niche especially for who are most interested ,the marines and air force special opps just wish the coast guard was more interested too ,would be perfect for them
