Who betrayed Navy SEAL Team 6?

Via avordvet

 

What really happened to Navy SEAL Team 6? In August 2011, the elite special forces unit suffered the worst battlefield calamity in its history. A Taliban fighter shot down a Chinook helicopter carrying 22 Navy SEAL Team 6 members in Afghanistan. All 38 persons on board — the Navy SEAL warriors, other U.S. military personnel and seven Afghan soldiers — were killed. Grieving family members have been demanding answers. They may now get some as Congress finally opens an investigation.

Navy SEAL Team 6 has attained international prominence for one reason: They were responsible for killing Osama bin Laden. They are American heroes. Yet, their own government betrayed them.

Several days after the bin Laden operation, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. — in a pathetic attempt to spike the football and gloat — publicly revealed their central role in the raid. His revelations put a giant target on the backs of every Navy SEAL Team 6 member. A covert unit, whose mission is to operate in the murky shadows, was exposed as the group that eliminated al Qaeda’s chief mastermind. Mr. Biden’s reckless actions — followed by President Obama’s own words acknowledging the secret unit’s operation — jeopardized the Navy SEALs’ safety. Jihadists bent on revenge began an intense manhunt. The hunters now became the hunted.

  1. I swear to God, if you put Biden's head on a pike you'd have to pull a toe sack over it so you wouldn't have to look at that stupid bleep-itty bleep bleep bleep. Obama should give him the "maroon" of the year award.

    Okay, it's time to step away from the computer because the more I read today, the fouler mood I experience.

    Resist the bastards.

  2. Their crime was they knew too much about what really happened at the raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound, and they paid with their lives.

    Congress? CONGRESS?

    Like fast and furious? IRS? Benghazi? Too many to name.

    Give me a break. I have tried not to post this but it keeps eating at me. Congress is nothing but a bunch of useless conspirators. There are many more words, but you get the point.

  4. The outing of the Team is one of the most blatant displays of contempt the pols have given in the last 20+ years. Treason can be defined in more than one fashion.
