This report fails to mention the critical role played by converted "anti helicopter" RPGs, which had the normal contact fuses replaced by a time fuse to produce an airburst.
Four low flying US helicopters were struck by simple RPGs in this manner.

This was a major story that I just heard a week or so ago. I'm quite surprised more isn't being made of this. Then again, perhaps we don't want to say anything for fear of drawing the public's attention to Iran and Iraq???

They also fail to mention that Les Aspin wouldn't give the rangers any armored vehicles. That ba***rd should have been shot.
