The U.S. Army H-60 helicopter was damaged during a “hard deck landing” aboard the USNS Red Cloud about 20 miles east of Okinawa, the U.S. Forces, Japan said.<\/p>\n
The helicopter is currently on the deck of the USNS Red Cloud and the injured were transported to the U.S. Naval Hospital at Camp Foster, it said in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The articles don’t stipulate which service the injured were assigned to – they could have been Navy, Marine or Army given the story of an Army helicopter on a Navy ship.<\/p>\n
The good news is that there were others aboard who weren’t injured.<\/p>\n
The Japanese government is currently calling for a reduction of US presence on Okinawa because of accidents that they fear will injure their citizens. I guess that’s the price that you pay when you depend on a foreign government for protection so that you don’t have to pay for your own defense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
