Twitter is abuzz that 25 of those killed were Navy Seal Team 6, but, not the actual seals that took out Bin Laden.  Taliban is taking credit.  Dammit, just dammit.

Fox is saying that it was SEAL team 6, the same ones that took out bin Laden.

In any case, let's go for the kill for all the damned terrorists. Or just pull our forces out and put them on the Mexican border.

It's not complicated, even for a dumbo president.

I'm sorry but I can't help but wonder if one of the Muslims on board pulled the pin on a handgrenade.

First let me say May they rest in eternal peace and may their loved ones bear this loss with fortitude.

Then the thing that sticks out to me is how in hell did we let a  :censored: towel headed camel jockey with an antique pos russian weapon take out these fine men!!  Answer that BO!

More members in the honor guard above.  Sad things happen this is yet another one .  For those with the intestinal fortitude I offer this link to a dumpland thread on this same subject.  Noodle-head Nadine pontificates in this thread.

10 years in Afghanistan bled the Soviet Union dry, it's doing the same to the US.

Wow, that's a devastating blow to the SF community.  Prayers for the families and friends.  We need to either fight this war like we want to actually win it or GTFO.

^ And that's going to happen with Barack the Magic Negro in charge? Don't think so.

Dammit, this is horrible! Rest in Peace to all you brave SEALS who got the job done. TRUE Americans love you, and miss you. May your families grief be as little, and as painless as possible. I'm sure it doesn't help much to know that their loved ones are Heros in this sorrow filled time, but I hope it helps a little bit.

Obama signed their death warrants while he basked in their reflected glory.  He is an insignificant creature.

I thought the same damned thing, but my term was much stronger.

Just found out one of the SEALs on board was a guy my wife knew in high school, that would have made him a freshman when I was a senior.  RIP Barnstable High School grad Kevin Houston.

I don't think most Americans would want to believe it and that's what the Obama Group is counting on.  A sentinel knows better.

And the tinfoil hat crowd is also claiming these guys were "hushed up".

I so wish I could reach through a monitor and dickpunch some people sometimes.

My thoughts are that the government and "media" have become way too comfortable lying to the American People, broken campaign promise used to be a joke. Now they lie about what is safe/ not-safe, good for us/ not-good for us. They lie with impunity about what is in the laws they pass and about every aspect of their day-to-day lives.

Although I think the article is over the top in linking too many points together, but I do not think it is unreasonable to assume this government would do at least some of what is charged in the story; I'll site operation gun runner as example 1, and if this new cocaine for information story is true that is example number 2.

Anyone know if Russia supplied the weapon used?  After all, that's what we did to Russia when they were there. 

If you don't fight a war to win, why bother?  Our soldiers were made to kill people and break things.  Not nation build.  A) Wipe out the Taliban and anyone who stands with them, B) and then come home.  If you're not going to do part A, then just bring them home.

If I was going to put my money on who supplied the weapon, I'd be more likely to go with Iran or Pakistan (read: ISI) than the Russians.

My prayers and condolences as well. I HATE hearing when our troops die or get badly injured in that shithole as well. I use that term, shithole, very loosely too.
Is it true that the pilot was not a Navy SEAL pilot?

to the best of my knowledge SEAL's don't have their own pilots. 160 SOAR would probably be the go-to aviators in that theater.

That is correct, it was Army 160th Special Ops Aviation Regt, aka the Night Stalkers of Black Hawk Down notoriety.

IIC, Sloe Joe put the hit out on SEAL Team 6 the day after Obambi took credit for bin Laden's demise.
