Marines Link Obama Vacation to Deadly Helo Crash
Before the Obama family's annual two-week vacation last December in Kailua, Hawaii, the Secret Service put in place a series of standard security measures, including a temporary regional flight restriction affecting Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463, stationed less than five miles away at Kaneohe Bay.

But unlike past years, this year found HMH-463 in crisis.

The unit, the only squadron of CH-53E Super Stallion choppers based in Hawaii, was in a desperate struggle to claw back readiness after failing a maintenance inspection in September and contending with dwindling numbers of flight-worthy aircraft for pilots and aircrew to rack up badly needed flight hours.

A weapons and tactics instructor assigned to the squadron tried to negotiate with the Secret Service, asking for permission to conduct functional check flights, brief flights needed to conduct routine maintenance. The request, he said, was denied.

Um...12 lives were lost because of a vacation? On your tax dollars?

Compared to all the lives Obama has taken in drone strikes and wars in the Middle East, Benghazi, etc, and who knows what other killings have been done at his command, 12 lives lost because Obama refused to let them do maintenance checks first is insignificant to Obama.

Re: Marines Link Obama Vacation to Deadly Helo Crash
That is truly sad and tragic. But hey, I'm sure he showed his tears in the press conference, right? Oh, wait...

Amazing how someone can NOT kill 26 children, because the whole thing was a freaking drill, yet Obama can JUMP on the television and cry his crocodile tears, as if he was an actual human being, and not a poorly acting sociopath. So he can finagle the people into getting their guns.

But when HE is responsible for the death of 11 men, what's that I hear? **crickets**
