Someone ordered all those Seals on to that Chinook - from what I have read, that just isn’t done under any normal circumstances. I truly do beleve that this was an assassination and that it was a warning to others. There really are no depths to which this evil group won’t take us if we let them.
I just finished Marcus Luttrell's book "Lone Survivor" last week and they did send a chinook with several SEALs on board in an attempt to rescue Luttrell and his team. That chinook was destroyed by an RPG, killing everyone on board.
Do this many team members travel together on one conveyance, normally?
