There's a lot of space in the sky, it takes a lot of skill to hit the only other object around.
The main advantage of an attack helicopter like the Apache is that it can fly really close to the treeline, pop up to launch a missile, then duck back down to avoid retaliation.
They were probably closer to the ground than most people would imagine.
But also are made up of a million different parts competing to destroy themselves.
it's one thing to die in a war. to die training for some hypothetical war? can't have healthcare and free/cheap college, need to make poor people join the military.
Knowing the US I'd be suprised if military life expectancy didn't improve tbh. What with them deployed in more civilised countries and all.
Did the helicopters litter and pollute the surrounding nature though? The situation might not be as 100% good as we thought.
How the hell do you survive a midair collision of two helicopters? First there is the collision itself, then I think it's safe to assume the helicopters fell out of the sky. Impact with the ground, probably fire and very toxic smoke, vengeful ghosts of the rival helicopter crew... And one of the soldiers just had an ouchie. Clearly there is witchcraft at work.
depending on what happened if you've still got your rotor the spinning drag can slow down enough to not die, like those tree seeds with one "wing" fall kinda slow.

:rat-salute: thank you for your service
:rat-salute-2: to them all, they collectively rid the world of 3 war criminals and 2 death machines
Reminds me of all those SAS fuckers who die during training exercises in Bannau Brycheiniog.
No matter how macho-tough you think you are, you can't punch your way out of dying of exposure and now your corpse is going to be discovered by a diabetic charity fun run.
