Booster4324 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 That would be the guys (maybe as some may rotate in and out) that killed Bin Laden. AP twitter: BREAKING: AP sources: Majority of those killed in helicopter crash were from Navy SEAL Team 6. Horrible way to go out for a warrior. Put them on the ground and they take the guys at a 10-1 ratio easily. Eternal forever and my thanks.
/dev/null Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 I don't mean to go all conspiracy theory after such a tragedy, but... The Seal Team 6 part seems a little too convenient. If Seal Team 6 is dead, there's no need for America hating Muslims to go looking for revenge on them or their families

If Seal Team 6 is dead, there's no need for America hating Muslims to go looking for revenge on them or their families Why not? Their families are still alive...

If Seal Team 6 is dead, there's no need for America hating Muslims to go looking for revenge on them or their families I hope you are right. Those guys deserve the best no matter what. Split up Osama's 72 virgins, that is around 3 each. Confirmation from AP, but I like Dev/Nulls response better. Besides, prove it.
/dev/null Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Why not? Their families are still alive... Use the families to get to Seal Team 6. If ST6 is dead, their families don't provide the same leverage
Booster4324 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 No matter what, Seal Team 6 lives on. Anonymity rocks.
eSJayDee Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Or, another conspiracy theory: That Seal team is among the very few that know whether or not they really got Bin Laden. If we really didn't, w/ them gone, less chance for the truth to come out. Seriously, I hope the above is not the case. Those were fine, courageous soldiers.

ofiba Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/08/06/afghanistan.nato.helicopter.crash/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 The majority of the Navy SEALs who died belonged to the same covert unit that conducted the raid that killed Osama bin Laden in May, though they were not the same men, the official said. Not that it really matters, but it was guys from SEAL team 6 but not the same men who did the Bin Laden mission.

If Seal Team 6 is dead, there's no need for America hating Muslims to go looking for revenge on them or their families No, instead the American hating Muslims can now loudly proclaim the hand of God avenged the murder of OBL, proving once again that America is the Great Satan. And millions will believe that. It was incredibly short-sighted and stupid for our government to identify in any way who the guys were that killed OBL.
Peace Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 That was the first thing that popped into my head, too. One wonders which of your heads has more empty space in it.
DC Tom Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Horrible way to go out for a warrior. Put them on the ground and they take the guys at a 10-1 ratio easily. Eternal forever and my thanks. There are no good ways to go in war. **** happens.

And any second now Al qaeda takes credit for it.
Booster4324 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Posted August 7, 2011 There are no good ways to go in war. **** happens. Yeah, I was speaking to how they would have wanted to go out.
Doc Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 While not the Seal Team 6 from the UBL raid, still a huge loss.
dib Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 who's the genius that puts that kind of asset all in one helo?

WWVaBeach Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) who's the genius that puts that kind of asset all in one helo? More than 20% of the 100+ members of ST 6 lost in an instant. It will take years to recover from this. Edited August 7, 2011 by WWVaBeach
