Helo pilots ready for Iraq
I've got a soft-part for helo pilots as my father was one for 38 years.

Perfectionism and fatalism are two traits common in Army helicopter pilots, and both are being sharpened here on this bustling airfield, where hundreds of soldiers, pilots and crew members from the 3rd Infantry Division's Combat Aviation Brigade are preparing to deploy to Iraq, perhaps by mid-May.

Very good article, and I pull this quote because I've heard it from other military guys
*****
He doesn't like the prospect of repeat deployments, but he also fears what might happen if American troops pull out.
"It's going to be chaos," he said. "It's going to be like Sudan."

And as always, Thanks to all those that serve our nation and it's people!!!!!
