An MV-22 Osprey lost power on take-off Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014, and two crew members bailed out into the ocean. One was recovered, but the search for the second Marine was unsuccessful and has been called off. The Navy said he is "presumed lost at sea."

The Hill: Most Americans favor ground troops against ISIS
Large majorities of Americans now favor increased military action, including the use of ground forces, against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks in Paris, a new poll says.
Seventy-three percent support increased U.S. airstrikes against ISIS, and 60 percent back more ground forces — double the level of support for ground forces from summer 2014, according to the new poll by ABC News/Washington Post, published on Friday.
Fifty-nine percent of Americans say the U.S. is at war with radical Islam, the poll said.
WNU Editor: If accurate, this is a big shift in public opinion. In the past, the majority were not in favour of ground troops. It also looks like President Obama is aware of this shift, and is cautioning Americans to not get "excited" .... Obama warns against overreaction to Islamic State attacks (AP).

Maybe some day they'll support kicking out the Saudis, freezing their assets, and prosecuting those who have worked with them.
