According to Snopes this is a picture of a Chinook picking up some prisoners
in Afghanistan.

Is this how pilots get "0.5" in the "Landing, Day" category?

True, Denny, but you know what? It's just "goin' to work" for those guys.
Military helo pilots learn some terrible things about exactly what their
craft can do. Bless 'em all.

I was told about a few ridge landings like that during the Vietnam
Conflict.. UH-1s sitting with one skid on the crest of a ridge line and the
other hanging in space.. while the platoon bailed or boarded.. always
adjusting the balance to the changing weight and CG load.

Drop the "conflict". It was a war. Don't let anyone tell you different.
