He is a fine gentlemen who would land his helicopter in a hellstorm if he had to in order to save any American citizen. Those of you who live your life in freedom and peace owe it to great americans like Art who are willing to lay it down for this country. These actions are the cornerstone of what we hold dear in America. Selfless service, duty, and honor. Art embodied the spirit and boldness of the US Soldier. I fought beside him in OIF 3 out of Speicher and he is an American ass kicker. We love you Art and you are never fogotten! We will meet again someday. I know Mr. Laguna.

These men were being paid as security forces. That's like saying the hired guard down at the bank shouldn't have taken that job if he's beaten, put on his knees, and shot in the back of the head just for good measure. Perhaps your political views shouldn't cloud your sympathy at the fear these men likely felt as the enemy walked up behind them once they had crashed and took their lives. These guys are trying to provide for a secure Iraq. If you want to argue against using paid security forces, do so. But it's nauseating to see it done by using these men as "told you so" bullet points. <span style="color:#CC0099;">BSC: Well said! Thank you!</span> How disingenuous and callous.
