What really happened to Navy SEAL Team 6? You know their story: the super secret, elite special forces team – full of awesome and win – that executed justice for all of us when they found and killed Osama Bin Laden watching p0rn or something from a dump in Pakistan.
Sadly, we all know what happened after that… enter Vice President Joe Biden, who with his foolish, foolish revelation of their covert role in taking out Bin Laden, put a giant target on the backs of every Navy SEAL Team 6 member and their families.
I remember the news clearly. It was August 2011, when a Taliban fighter shot down a Chinook helicopter carrying 22 Navy SEAL Team 6 members in Afghanistan. All 38 persons on board — the Navy SEALs, other U.S. military personnel and seven Afghan soldiers — were killed. Since that time, their grieving families have been demanding answers and with very good reason.
According to this article, “SEAL-gate” is potentially a bigger scandal than Benghazi. Read the highlighted section carefully:
The administration — along with the top military brass — are desperately trying to cover up what took place on that fateful raid. Taliban guerrillas were waiting for the Chinook as it approached its landing site. Apparently, someone tipped them off that the SEALs were coming; the helicopter was attacked from three sides in a coordinated ambush. The U.S. military claimed that the Chinook was blown to pieces by a shoulder-fired missile, in which everyone on board was burned beyond recognition. Hence, senior military officials ordered the American bodies cremated without the prior approval of their family members.
The military’s narrative, however, is false. Charles Strange, whose son, Michael, died during the attack, says he viewed the pictures of the crash site. “I saw Mike’s dead body,” Mr. Strange said in an interview. “It was clearly recognizable. He was clutching his gun. He wasn’t burned to a crisp. Why did they cremate my boy? They didn’t need to do that. Something’s not right.”
There are numerous questions that need to be answered. Why was the Chinook’s black box never found? The military claims it was washed away in a flash flood. Impossible. Flash flooding is extremely rare — almost unheard of — in that part of Afghanistan. Why was the Chinook not given aerial backup, which is standard military procedure when special forces are deployed?
Even more alarming, why were the seven Afghan soldiers who boarded the Chinook at the last minute different from those on the flight manifest? This clearly violated U.S. military protocol. Afghan strangers (al Qaeda suicide bombers?) got on that Chinook, and potentially sabotaged the raid.
They served only to be betrayed.
Frankly, I just don’t have the words that can really express how horrified I am over all of this and my belief that the Vice President of the United States of American recklessly aided the enemy in killing American heroes. And the congressional investigation into this? Don’t hold your breath on ever finding out the truth. I won’t be.

Thrakman says: HERE is more evidence of what REALLY happened to SEAL Team 6! They were set up to die from the very beginning!

I remember how the media excoriated President Bush, and said that his Administration had revealed the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson to punish her husband. It wasn’t true, of course, the source turned out to be someone who was not exactly a neo-con, and nobody was killed.
But Vice President Biden runs his mouth about SEAL Team 6, and suddenly many of them get killed? Not a peep from the press!
Kate says: Yeah, Dana. That just makes me furious.
cali says: Thank you for keeping this story in the news!
Here is my theory based upon reading on different sites and sources within various countries:
These men were set p to die – dead men tell no tales. As our people were set up to die in Benghazi – not much difference.
There was no Bin Laden – according to Pakistani News, he died of renal failure in 2011; what our Seals thought to be OBK was a stand-in or a son of his – same heights, looks and weight etc..! There also was n burial at see.
Barry and Jarrett needed a distraction due to the upcoming ‘forged birth certificate’ story which is now posted for all t see on the white house website.
Remember also that Secretary of Defense at that time was Gates, who angry at the admin due to too much blabbering and, resigned his post earlier than it was expected.
Somebody had to be pacified in the muslim world – the Seals al packed on an old Chinook with te change of afghans (the noble people in barry’s eyes) equipped with a bomb. Remember also that we have our enemies throughout the admin in various national security positions. What better ay then to tip off those who mean us even more harm.
As the families of Amb Stevens and the other ones killed in Benghazi after Jarrett giving the stand down order, their families too were denied to see the bodies of their loved ones. Why?
Please continue to push this tragedy – our heroes deserve much better than this!
I would also remind everyone of the killing of one of our best snipers ever – Kyle – that too was and is very fishy!
Becca says: Look, I’m the first to criticize the liberals when something is their fault but I’m having a very hard time figuring out why people can so easily go from Biden outing ST6 (100% the fault of the administration) to a helicopter being shot down because of that admission. Let’s say that there were Taliban fighters waiting on the ground and they were tipped off….does that mean that they wouldn’t have shot down the chinook if it wasn’t SEALs on board? Do people think that the SEALs would tell the Afghans on the helicopter that it was their team members who raided the bin laden compound? Keep in mind, there are about 200 members of each SEAL team and none of the guys that were killed in this crash were part of the bin laden mission. These guys aren’t even allowed to tell their families where they’re going or what they’re doing. Now I’m not saying that there aren’t valid questions that deserve to be answered here (I knew 2 of these guys and was at their funerals) but the focus of most of the questions should have been the reason that they were not allowed to return fire from the helicopter while they were under attack- Obama’s rules of engagement would not allow them to do so in case there were civilians that could be caught in the crossfire!!
Kate says: Well said, Becca!
