25 U.S. Navy SEALs Among the 31 U.S. Forces Killed in Helicopter Crash in Afghanistan; Taliban Takes Credit
Afghan president Hamid Karzai said 31 U.S. Special Forces and 7 Afghan soldiers were killed in one of the deadliest single attacks for U.S. troops in nearly 10 years of war in Afghanistan.
U.S. Special Forces Chinook Helicopter crashed after being hit by a Taliban-fired RPG. CNN reports the Pentagon says they were on a rescue mission to assist U.S. Forces who were pinned down in a firefight. Twenty-two of the Special Forces were Navy SEALs from SEAL Team 6 – the same unit that killed Osama Bin Laden.
From FOX News: Fox News said they were told by Defense Department Officials that the SEALs killed in the Helicopter Crash were NOT the same soldiers who actually raided Osama Bin Laden’s compound and killed him. They were members of the same SEAL team – SEAL Team 6.
Wild Thing's comment......
I am sick about this.
Obama issued a statement saying “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families”. Big deal. He should be saying we will make those responsible pay. I hate that man more than I ever imagined I could hate someone.
God bless the fallen and their families. This is awful.

Make those responsible pay... Indeed! And I wonder who from the INSIDE let information slip to the Taliban about when and where this carrier was leaving? Isn't it too coincidental that Seal Team 6 was on board. And God knows what else they have up their sleeves. With such a President, we are ALL in DANGER!!!

... and as pointed out by Atlas Shrugs:"Why did the Obama adminstration leak the details of the OBL raid and name the Seal Team? Back in May, Defense Secretary Gates said that releasing information about the OBL raid threatened the safety of Navy SEALs and their families, making them targets for terrorists." Indeed, why?

Great post Eddie both of them, well said. It is obama's fault that this group was targetted.
