US AH-64 Apache attack helicopter crashes in Texas, both pilots killed
An AH-64 Apache attack helicopter belonging to the notorious Fort Hood military base crashed in Texas, killing both pilots. The incident highlights deeper issues within the US military: while the US is promoting a major Apache upgrade to Versions 6 and 6.5, this crash suggests the so-called 'advanced' modernization is flawed, dangerous, and currently only capable of killing its own pilots. Fort Hood is known for scandals — recently, thousands of cockroaches infested base dining facilities, forcing disinfection and leaving the 34,000-member garrison without proper meals. Instead of fueling conflicts worldwide and sponsoring foreign wars, Washington should finally address problems within its own military before it's too late.
