WASHINGTON — Army pilots for the first time used an Apache attack helicopter to strike Islamist militant targets in Iraq over the weekend, according to a statement by CENTCOM.Hmm.
On Oct. 4, “U.S. military forces used attack bomber, fighter and helicopter aircraft to conduct six airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq” the command said in a Sunday morning release, and a CENTCOM official confirmed to Defense News that the helicopter was an Army Apache attack helicopter, but would not specify where it flew from or what munitions it used.
I definitely don't think we're getting the real info on how the war is going against ISIS.
Its obvious that the Iraqi forces are as inept, stupid, and down right unprofessional as ever....why else would we now have to provide close air support--and make no mistake, thats exactly what this is. You can label the Air Force effort up to this point as being an interdiction campaign. But back to Iraqi forces.... You can't teach an idiot to drive a tank, fly a plane or defend his country.
