Two Navy Seals are missing after falling into the water off the coast of Somalia while trying to board a vessel in the nighttime, officials said.

The two Seals, whose names were not publicly released, were climbing up a vessel in the Gulf of Aden when they got knocked off by waves.

Under their protocol, when one SEAL is overtaken, the next jumps in after them.

The men were on an interdiction mission — where members intercept weapons on ships that are bound for Houthi-controlled Yemen — when the waves overtook them, the officials said, according to reports.

The officials, who would only speak anonymously, would not detail the mission the missing Seals were on, but said it was not a part of Operation Prosperity Guardian,

The reason Yemen and other shitholes in that region are important are their positions relative to key waterways.

I get that.

Why do we condemn other countries for invading others, yet we invade countries all the time? It is either right to do that, or it is not.

Hypocrisy!

Further, I would not want my son dying in an attempt to protect some ship in the middle of the ocean. Their life is more important than scrambling all over the world, putting fires out, as some politician dictates for their own self-serving interest.

If you are alright with that. Send your son or daughter -- just don't send mine.

As a sister of a special forces guy who spent time over there why don’t you take a long hike off a short pier.

If you are okay with your brothers dying for such a cause, then that's your right to do so. Go for it.

Just don't ask me to send my son or daughter to such a wasteful cause.
