What really happened to Navy SEAL Team 6? In August 2011, the elite special forces unit suffered the worst battlefield calamity in its history. A Taliban fighter shot down a Chinook helicopter carrying 22 Navy SEAL Team 6 members in Afghanistan. All 38 persons on board — the Navy SEAL warriors, other U.S. military personnel and seven Afghan soldiers — were killed. Grieving family members have been demanding answers. They may now get some as Congress finally opens an investigation.
Navy SEAL Team 6 has attained international prominence for one reason: They were responsible for killing Osama bin Laden. They are American heroes. Yet, their own government betrayed them. Several days after the bin Laden operation, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. — in a pathetic attempt to spike the football and gloat — publicly revealed their central role in the raid. His revelations put a giant target on the backs of every Navy SEAL Team 6 member.

Apparently, someone tipped them off that the SEALs were coming; the helicopter was attacked from three sides in a coordinated ambush. The U.S. military claimed that the Chinook was blown to pieces by a shoulder-fired missile, in which everyone on board was burned beyond recognition. Hence, senior military officials ordered the American bodies cremated without the prior approval of their family members.
The military’s narrative, however, is false. Charles Strange, whose son, Michael, died during the attack, says he viewed the pictures of the crash site. “I saw Mike’s dead body,” Mr. Strange said in an interview. “It was clearly recognizable. He was clutching his gun. He wasn’t burned to a crisp. Why did they cremate my boy? They didn’t need to do that. Something’s not right.”

It was clearly a hit if not arranged by the administration, at least sanctioned. Payback
The enmy was given the ETA and flight path obviously. Shot at from 3 positions at the same time and the back box mysteriously dsappearing with a cargo that valuable. Smells...
Hopefully the SEALs are planning their own payback.
BTTT
One can only hope.
BUMP
Oh no, - it’s just a coincidence that the biggest loss of SEAL fighters just happened to be the same crew that “took out” OBL - just a coincidence . . .
I will NEVER believe the BinLaden raid and death. It was not BL that was dumped in the ocean two hours later. Pure theater and BS to prop up the grifter.
Stand up, "Chuck". Maybe after you finish spiking the football, you and your mouth can take a bow.
Joe, I thank God I'm not you, you poor tormented soul. None of this fun will have been worth what you've earned.
Bump.
And while we are talking tin foil........I’m not so sure Benghazi didn’t have something to do with the BL coverup.
Or that ObL's "funeral" was done with more official respect, honor and ceremony than what was done for Seal Team 6.
I forget, what did Osama bin Laden do?
Nor will I......
link is very tough to follow
this link similar article is much easier to read
I did not know about the military ordered cremation
what about respect for family religious beliefs and objections to cremation??????
why. In past all remains have been treated with utmost reverence. Even remains of Vietnam POWs not cremated but brought home
the DVD they sent the families of the DoD sponsored muslim funeral is a horrifying and UNBELIEVABLE story
I head the Vaughns claim they have been silenced about revealing the outrage of this “funeral” (aka muslims spiking the football over our dead warriors ashes) by DEATH THREATS

WTH has Congress abandoned our nation to this depraved adminstration?
Cui bono?
Maybe it had something to do with concealing the identities of the 7 Afghan "military" "passengers" that the Vaughn's say were added to the flight at the last second.
Actually, they were replacements for 7 others who were supposed to be on that flight.
Nobody has come forward to say who decided to make the last second decision.
