Have any C-17 (or any heavies) been damaged by enemy fire in theater? I don't know the answert to this; but if not - then it sounds like the Blue Threat has claimed 3 damaged airframes and the Red Threat none. We have a history of hurting ourselves in some aspects more than the enemy does. There is certainly a time and place for higher risk operations. I would assume that the proper ORM for all operations is being conducted for all aircraft operating in and around the OAR.
