Navy SEAL Team 6 tragedy...

[Spartanbh]

I'm really, really sad to hear about the 31 special operations and Navy SEAL soldiers who were shot down by the Taliban today (or yesterday?)...Most of the soldiers were from Navy SEAL Team 6, which were the ones that operated the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. Here's the story:

That's such a horrible loss of life.

We can't thank our troops enough for what they are doing around the world, putting their lives at risk for all of us...

Its a sad day that any brave solder losses thier lives, but when great Heros such as the Navy SEALs are lost as well. What makes this worse is that these brave men died from a rocket that we gave them. This rocket was most likely shot from a Stinger, which we gave to the Taleban in order to shoot down Russian Hides.

From memory, the chopper got hit with a rocket propelled grenade from an RPG-7.

Later an American airstrike would ELIMINATE all members of the crew that shot down that heli. So we got our half payback.

Just voicing my opinion here I DO NOT want to turn this into a flame war. That said I truly believe we need to get the fuck out of the middle east a hell of a lot sooner then 2014, and that will only happen if Obama gets reelected. If the Republicans get the white house back, I greatly doubt they will follow through with the plan Obama has set up for our withdraw.

I personally dislike both parties I have my own point of view, But back to the OP, This is a very tragic event but they sure did go out with a bang, taking down the most wanted man in the world does seem like quite an accomplishment they have my condolences, god speed.
