U.S. official: More than two dozen U.S. deaths in Afghan copter crash

31 Special Ops soldiers perish!

Does anyone really think we will win this war?

It took Soviets 10 plus years of heavy casualties and economic drainage to realize how impossible it is to occupy and control God forsaken Afghanistan. Are we to follow Soviets footsteps? Have we not learned anything?

Rip to the soldiers and families. I have a friend that's Spec Ops over there, and I'm praying that he was not among those that passed. He hails from Delphi.

From what I read, Seal Team 6 was in that bird. This is the team that took out Bin Laden.

Taliban is taking responsibility for bringing down the copter.

Unbelievable co-incidence!

Unless... seal team six DIDNT kill Osama, and didnt dump him in the ocean, and this is a coverup.

My thoughts exactly!

So...did SEAL Team 6 ever really exist????

 

[browncofiddler]

Just sounding off.....but this news makes me sick. It's so devastating to lose these, some of our absolute best warriors. The best of the best now gone. I just don't understand how the Taliban (who claimed responsibility) could've had the capabilities to execute this action.

RIP to all of them and may God continue to bless them. Sincere condolences to their families, friends and military buddies.

It is very possible look at Takur Ghar during Operation Anaconda. They took out 2 Chinooks, they lost a SEAL and then 7 other SOF troops

@Cwood ~ I know you're right.....I just hate that this happened, it's such a loss. I know they're already regrouping and are moving forward, as always. I'm only a civilian and have no true concept of what our military men/women do in the trenches - I only hear what's reported on the news. All I know is that their bravery & dedication is something that leaves me in always in awe.

God speed to all of those who have fallen and those who still continue to train and fight the fight.

Well that's a different take on it. In any event it's definitely a tragedy if it's real.

Did you even read the article you posted?

It said that none of the 22 SEALs killed in the crash were part of the team that supposedly kills Bin Laden. They were, however, part of the same unit.

[Personal note]: I use supposedly because I have NOT seen any proof yet.

 

[DragonGunner]

Very sad, hit me right in the guts when I saw it on the news. RIP an prayers to their families.

 

[Expat]

That really sucks. Prayers for their friends and families. Such a waste of our young heroes.

I just read another story on this and thought about it more. There is no way that this was a coincidence. One of our "friends" had to have sold out these guys to the Taliban. There are a bunch of people that need to be punished severely for this. You can not allow something like this to happen without severe repercussions or we will lose face.

Heavy loss to Spec Ops....

So... it has been steaming the news that a Chinook went down with 22 members of Seal Team 6.... the same guys that put hot ones in Osama Bin Laden. If this is indeed confirmed this is a heavy hit to SOCOM, and I wish their families the best in the hard times ahead. On a side note.... could this just be a *cover up* to keep the teams families safe?? There have been reports that the operators from ST6 were concerned that things would be leaked out and their families would be in danger. Curious? Regardless, if it does pan out to be fact.... Flag will go to half mast tomorrow morning. RIP ST6.

Does anyone else think something is not right here? I mean, this news strikes me as odd. I don't believe in conspiracy theory nor do I play into it, but this is just odd.

This is nothing more than a tragic coincidence. Units like DEVGRU and CAG get sent after the worst people in the worst places. God bless them and their families.

Some of you need to loosen your tin foil.
