Algeria Plane Crash

As many of you know Algeria had a plane crash. As a result of the crash 77 people died out of the 78 on board the plane.  Although, one man survived he is being treated for head injuries. Most of the people on board were military personnel.  Additionally, they had their family members with them. The plane crashed into the side of a mountain due to very bad weather conditions,  a storm and heavy snow fall was to blame. Now Algeria is having three days of national mourning for the people who lost their lives.  That is a huge loss for any military. Do you think that people in the same military unit should all be on board one plane at the same time?

    Yes, I do think Military units should ride the same plane at the same time. From an article I read I know that this gives the ability to quickly travel from one place to another. Taking multiple trips gives enemies more time to try to take out the planes and takes more time and fuel. If the plane went down, more lives would be saved by making multiple trips, but overall it would be more dangerous.
