Talking “micro aggression” Whatever you say, if you are white, is micro aggression. sheesh.
The author has a new book on Seal Team Six and the helicopter crash that Savage talks about. Very disturbing. He was on C2C. I cannot imagine Savage not having him on.
From CoasttocoastAM web site about Wed. July 1 show.
The large chopper, known as Extortion 17, was shot down in Afghanistan in 2011, near the Pakistan border, and was the largest single loss-of-life in the history of the US Navy SEALs. On the mission, the team was ostensibly looking for a Taliban operative. As the chopper approached for landing [at 02:30], Rules of Engagement prevented pre-suppression fire into the helicopter's landing zone prior to landing, even though Taliban were spotted moving towards the landing zone, Brown detailed.Various foreign media outlets reported that the Taliban was tipped on the helicopter's landing zone, he continued, but the US military, in a possible cover-up, concluded in its subsequent investigation that there was no wrong-doing, and that the shoot-down was unavoidable. Among the mysteries in the case were claims that no black box was ever found for the helicopter, and bullets discovered in the bodies of two of the SEALs. Aboard the shot-down craft were seven Afghan soldiers, who possibly were undercover Taliban. They might have guided the chopper to the location where it was shot down, or sabotaged it from within, Brown conjectured.
That pre-suppression fire would have come from a C-130 gunship watching the enemy w/RPGs approach the landing site area before the helicopter showed up IIRC.
