I didn't see so much as a single bullet hole in it...

at least from what was shown on TV. There may have been damage on the other side that wasn't visible, but you'd think they would've made a point of showing the damage. Based on what I could see, it really looks like a controlled emergency landing to me.

Apaches rarely operate alone. Odds are they had time to get off a Mayday call before landing. If they couldn't be picked up by their friends, let's hope they found a good hidey-hole and can wait until darkness to be picked up. Scott O'Grady managed to evade capture for 4 days. These Army pilots are at least as well trained.
