After several days of grief over the loss of 16 service members in the downing of a Chinook helicopter in Afganistan, one small bright piece of news came today. One member of the team on the ground who had called for reinforcement, a team which has been missing since the incident, has been found alive and transported from the area.
For obvious reasons, no information on his identity or condition has been released. We can only pray that he is well, and that the rest of his team is found soon.
Thank God. Telling the press anything is a death sentence to any surviving member, tatamount to locating them then blaring out their location to the enemy forces. Rumor has it there may be other members found, I sure hope so.
