This was shown on Channel 4 News in the UK a couple of days ago. It shows the tragic result of troops being sent into battle without enough helicopters and other equipment to support them. The video has since been posted on Youtube and I'll post it here in case anyone wishes to see it who is unable to do so on the Channel 4 News site. It was filmed from a fellow soldier's headcam.

I'm guessing that British troops aren't alone in having insufficient equipment supplied in battle, which leads to uneccessary deaths and injuries and it probably happens in US and other forces as well. But WHY? :roll:
Exclusive: the mother of British officer Mark Evison killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan tells Channel 4 News she wants the world to see the video showing the moments leading up to her son's death.
Warning: you may find the accompanying video and details of Lt Mark Evison's death distressing.
