THIS ^^ My curiosity got the best of me:

"According to official reports, the alliance suffered no fatalities as a direct result of combat operations. However, in the early hours of May 5, an American military AH-64 Apache helicopter crashed not far from the border between Serbia and Albania.[188] Another American AH-64 helicopter crashed about 40 miles (64 km) northeast of Tirana, Albania's capital, very close to the Albanian/Kosovo border.[189] According to CNN, the crash happened 45 miles (72 km) northeast of Tirana.[190] The two American pilots of the helicopter, Army Chief Warrant Officers David Gibbs and Kevin L. Reichert, died in that crash. They were the only NATO fatalities during the war, according to NATO official statements."

I think this is a subject best left to the combat veterans to deal with. They have earned the right.

Those of us who are Army veterans know that Staff Sergeant is abbreviated SSG. Marines abbreviate it SSGT.

And that's all I'm going to say.

Outstanding point. But you can bet I'll be following the action...

I have no opinion or knowledge of the validity of any of this and as has been said, will leave this to those who have been there to chime in. That being said... http://discussions.texasbowhunter.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-260440.html

Just like there's no U in Airborne?
