SEALS for a routine QRF mission? That is a total lie.

That would be rangers, marines —whatever.

SEALS are a high-priority direct action outfit.

We’re reading a cover-story, here.

I hope that you are right. Hard for me to believe that we would integrate Afghan’s with SEAL teams.

My fire-team is part of a [quick reaction unit] made up of commando's from all branches of the service, including British SAS.

We were monitoring, but, never got the call. Word is, this was a snatch operation, and the operations commander underestimated the strength of the enemy and was trying to cover his ass when the reinforcements were called in.

God help us all, when your ass is in this deep, you call in heavy gunships, i.e. specter's, etc. to support the men on the ground!

This mission does not pas the smell test with my unit!

It wasn’t the first story we heard. We heard they were headed to take out some important Taliban leaders.
