I have so much respect and admiration for Navy S.E.A.L.S. I wanted to be one so much when I was a teen. I did a lot of research on what goes into becoming a s.e.a.l. and those guys have so much determination and will.

They will be missed.

My local news gave what seemed to be about 10 seconds, maybe 15, to this story . What a huge loss. RIP, and thanks to "the best of the best" for their ultimate sacrifice.

Now would be a good time to donate to a worthy charity:

Most of them were of SEAL Team Six, the team that took out Bin Laden..

True heroes, ended way too early. RIP.

^ Seriously, though.. seems a little too convenient to me, personally.
A waste of life, regardless. This is a sick, sad world.

Funny you say that. I was actually thinking of possible conspiracy that will probably be hitting the web by the end of the weekend.

Biden had the slip of the tongue regarding the team that took down Bin Laden. He publicly stated it was Seal Team 6...

A few months go by, and Seal Team 6 is killed in action...

It seems funny. Some have already started talking about how they are covering up the fake Bin Laden kill by killing the seals that "got him"...

At any rate, RIP brothers.

Holy ****, SEALs are really hard to replace. Huge loss for the army and the respective families.

That team has more than ~20 members, so killing them off to shut them up like this isn't logical. (I know you aren't pushing this conspiracy.)

I hope none of this garbage takes hold. Groups like this go after dangerous targets. It's a testament to their skill we don't see more of these terrible occurrences.

My understanding is that none of those in the Bin Laden raid were on the Helicopter. I believe it was NBC that was reporting that last night. I believe that total seal team is a couple of hundred members plus. It's still a shame. And it was reported that they shouldn't have been in Chinooks over a Combat zone, that was because their weren't enough Blackhawks to do the job. But Chinooks aren't designed for hot put ins and take outs as I understand it.
