I sent ISAF a note asking about the downed helicopter that they issued a press release on. The Major responding was obviously having a bad day. This was his response.
Classification: UNCLASSIFIEDI mean geez...all I asked was the type of helicopter, what nation its from, casualties and enemy action - if any.
Caveats: NONE
Sol,
You are right - we haven't released any further information as the
incident is currently under investigation.
I can confirm that there were no serious causalities and that there was
no enemy activity in the area at the time.
Regards,
Maj James.

This guy is acting like I was asking to date his daughter!
Anyway, the explanation that the incident is under investigation is shady as hell...if no enemy activity took place....if no serious casualties resulted from the crash (I would assume next of kin has been notified) then there is absolutely NO plausible explanation for them not releasing the aircraft type and the nation its from.
What's up with these ISAF guys? They're making a massive push to pump up these Afghan fluff pieces (all the US services are doing the same) but when it comes to getting information out that people are really interested in they go all quiet.
THIS IS BULLSHIT!

ReplyDeleteThomas, isn't it a bit early for you to start spamming people's blogs? On another note the ISAF might be jumpy because they might be trying to cover someone's ass and/or someone important screwed up big time.
