Two Special Forces paratroopers were injured -- one critically -- this week when they missed their landing zone and came down in a North Carolina neighborhood.
Members of the neighborhood in Hoke County in the southern part of the state came to aid the soldiers, one of whom hit the roof of a house.
One paratrooper was hospitalized in critical but stable condition, said Army Maj. Rick Dickinson, a spokesperson for Fort Bragg. The other soldier was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname — a small South American country east of Venezuela – the admiral who oversaw the operation told lawmakers on Thursday according to two sources with direct knowledge of his remarks.

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.
