A spokesperson at the base said an “aviation mishap” was the cause of the accident, though he did not elaborate.
Typical. Maybe I'm just a better pilot, but the first rule of flying is don't crash.

MODERATORS
I can imagine a Pentagon spokesman speaking to the media.
"It was a MCM event."
"A MCM event?"
"Mishap Caused Mishap event."
"But what does that mean?"
"Question asked and answered. Next question..."
That thing that happens when you try to open a bag of chips gently but wind up having to put so much force into it that the bag tears completely in half and chips fly everywhere can be a real killer when you flying a helicopter.
"I identify as an apache helicopter 
" why, because you're an overrated piece of shit that can't do anything right?
It's because they're a toxic burning trash heap
never ride in a helicopter. not even once
VAXXED??
Boeing continues doing anti-imperialism
Look, sometimes helicopters just crash, just like bridges sometimes collapse.
You can't explain that.
Then on the other hand, if it happens in Chyna? That's communism.
Gommunism when things bad and cheap, amirite?
neglected, 75 year old bridge collapses above the theater, crushing the performer and injuring several onlookers
Gobmulism bad, am I rite my fellow redditors (please upvote, give gold)
isn't this one of the ways they cover deaths in places they weren't supposed to be?
Perhaps? But also helicopters are notoriously unreliable and difficult to pilot, particularly the high manueverability combat models.
The Navy Seals that came after OBL famously crashed two helicopters on the way in.
10,000 moving parts held together by contempt for god.
If it was me flying, i would just not crash.
I guess im just built different.
Too busy teaching DEI and WOKE instead of FLYING in pilot school, shaking my goddamned head.
they -Planned Obsolescence- their entire Nation !
I knew I was drinking for a very good reason, I just hadn't found it yet 🥂
WAITER WAITER MORE marines PLEASE
And finally, monsieur, a wafer thin navy corpsman
They made Apache helis woke? 
Reject flight.
REVTURN to Apaches killing Yankee soldiers.
Conspiracy theory time
The MIC is normalizing plane and heli crashes. Eventually they'll intentionally crash empty air vehicles via remote control. This will be done to hide US "boots on the ground" deaths in Gaza.

I'm nearly, entirely joking.
10,000 parts in close formation Etc....
Did they check for updates?y Apache servers don't usually crash...ohhhh, the helicopter
