Saw that helicopter clip on a news program. Think it happened recently in Iraq. A couple of seconds forward of that movie they spotted them tossing something into the fields, looked exactly like a rocket propelled gernade. One reason they hit the guy a second time, incase another one was in the truck. This really shines some light on why foreign enemies give the Apache the nickname of "whisper of death", and such. That helicopter was so quite that the guys on the ground never heard it at all until it fired. Kind of hard to imagine that much firepower being so close and having no idea that its there. Guess thats why the US is the number one super power. To bad the blackhawks arent having as much luck.
