<p>War is fraught with dangers like this. I’ve been reading several first-person books on various wars including WWII, and it’s amazing how many mistakes are made when one looks at it in retrospect. Another one I read was ‘Lone Survivor’ where another rescue chopper full of soldiers on a rescue mission for a Seal was wiped out by a rocket.</p>
<p>Hopefully the officers and others who make the mission plans and ‘go’ decisions will learn from this one so it’ll be less likely to happen in the future.</p>
