From a May thread to another poster:

"I don’t see it as an inside job meaning the Obama administration. Possible but the more likely and obvious explanation is that Biden leaked the Seals out of incompetence and the Afghans identified them and took them out. Not buying this inside job theory."

I don't believe the conspiracy either. However, I do question why so many SpecOps personnel were on one bird. I also wonder why the Afgan personnel were changed at the last moment (if true). That alone could explain the whole catastrophe.

I highly doubt that the golfing, campaigning, self-arrgandizing, sh*thead in our Oval Office is actually involved in every military operation. Yes, Biden should have kept his big mouth shut, but I believe it was just "wages of war" that brought down that Chinook.

Remember, they were going in to backup/rescue some trapped Rangers. So there were many ragheads in the area. They have countless RPG's and probably shoulder Stinger guided missles.

However, again, I'm surprised SO many SEALs were on one plane. In my day in the Navy, the commander of the operation would not have done so. They are too valuable of a military asset to risk so many on one helo even if for our own. Our military has always tried to leave no soldier behind, but this op with so many almost irreplaceable warriors was just wrong planning by a politically correct commander, IMHO.

Last thought: If this was some kind of conspiracy by the Obambi administration or a DOD conspiracy, then I believe many active duty SEAL's would speak up. They are afraid of nothing. There's nothing Obambi or DOD or CIA or anyone that could scare them into not talking. There has been nothing but silence from them. They know it was a lucky shot by the enemy. It happens. That's why we have so many wounded warriors from Iraq and Aftganiscrap. It's called war. Shit happens.

The witnesses have been ordered home, so how could any other SEALs talk?
