Four Marines Killed in Helicopter Crash

Military Working Drug Patrol...

There are exceptions to the Posse Comitatus law (which prohibits the use of the military against civilians), and one of the most-used is in the field of using such military personnel and assets in the War on Drugs.

Wars are always costly; and this war has claimed four more US servicemen. Four Marines in two AH1W Super Cobra attack helicopters were under the direction of the Border Partol, in a night exercise, when they crashed.

Although it is widely speculated that the choppers ran into each other, there has been no official confirmation of that, as a cause of the accident, Wednesday night, in Falcon State Park, on the Texas/Mexico border. The reservists were being trained as part of Joint Task Force Six.

The four Marines (whose identities are being withheld, pending notification of next-of-kin) were stationed at Camp Pendleton (CA), but were temporarily assigned to Fort Bliss, in El Paso (TX).
