Either way, the Taliban will see it as a payback “victory”.

Quite a coincidence!For those who actually believe in such. For others of us, something perhaps more sinister is the explanation...

Yes, Obama’s bravado, bragging and his administration’s leaking of information best kept secret is probably responsible for this.

Yep. I really wouldn’t be surprised if this was the Administration’s way of “reaching out” to the Taliban.

Quite a coincidence! Coincidence? Maybe.
Were they shot down or did one of the Afghan special forces flying with them go for his 72 virgins?

What was this helicopter shot down with? Did Iran provide it, China, Russia, who? Have we learned nothing from North Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan? You can’t fight a war humanly and half assed, It is a act of violence by definition. Trump had it right, if you go to war, you fight to win and take what what is left to pay for it. This nation building is insane and ignores all of human history.

Inside betrayal by Afghan moles coupled with the current ROE laid on by the undocumented Muslim alien from Nairobi who, if given the chance, would have betrayed the entire Seal Team 6 unit in a heartbeat. Molon labe, Soetero, you cowardly, treasonous punk.

I thought the same thing..especially since Team 6 got Osama....remember the suicide bombing of the CIA camp? There were 7 Afghan commandos on the chopper.
Crash investigators should be able to determine if the explosion originated INSIDE the chopper..

I don’t think that would be the case. But I have no doubt that one of husseins henchmen wouldn’t have given the Taliban some great info to be at the right place at the right time.

It was reported he issued a statement saying “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families”. Big deal. He should be saying we will make those responsible pay. I hate that man more than I ever imagined I could hate someone.

Obama should have just shut the F up when they killed Bin Laden, but NOOOOO, he had to have his victory lap.

Yup but, IMHO, to get the exact team that killed bin laden a couple months ago will be huge for them. And demoralizing for us.

Compounding the tragedy of the loss is the fact that DevGru is a highly elite and specialized unit of an already highly elite unit. It isn't all that big. So if it turns out that this was DevGru ... the US may have just lost a major Special Ops capability in one swoop.
To: spiderfern
Well, Obama and the media made sure the entire world knew who to target.
Gdam traitors!

“Quite a coincidence!”
Indeed. Sort like the “coincidence” in WWII where a squadron of our P38’s just happened to run into Admiral Yamamoto’s plane and shoot it down, killing him and everybody else aboard. Makes one wonder about the quality(???) of our ROE, intelligence(???) operations in Afganistan, and the Illegal’s complicity.
