DEVGRU has about 150 operators. The guys on the OBL raid were not(as far as I can determine) on board that Chinook. Scuttlebutt is that most were home on leave. I have spent a great deal of time and burned some contacts trying to confirm this angle. Best I can get is a unconfirmed that none of the OBL raiders have “been casualties”.

Vets and military families should be taking to the streets Demanding treason convictions of Clinton and Obola.
Our soldiers are fed blood thirsty islamists for elite’s creative destruction goals and entertainment.
This is So obviously noutrageous, and we are placidly letting our country and children be destroyed, all without a fight..

RE: “Treason is ignored WHOLESALE for the ruling class,
which treasonously uses email from their private servers
next to their toilets.

Every murder of US Patriots is connected to information
SENT (not “lost”) to the ENEMY.

And this will be ignored, BECAUSE the FBI has done
exactly that with Clinton
— giving a GREEN LIGHT to such future (and this) treason.”

“Cardin and his fellow Marines were at what the military called a fire base. It’s a term that harkens to the Vietnam War....”

Too bad they don’t use more of those terms, like Free Fire Zones.

That’s my understanding as well, but there are a lot of questions surrounding the Extortion 17 mission itself, the downing of that Chinook and congressional “inquiries” in the aftermath. Here’s a link to some pretty in-depth information from a good unclassified source:

"It’s no longer a secret: There are people in the Obama administration giving information to the terrorists."

Giving aid and comfort to the enemy is as natural to each and every member of the Traitorobama regime as stealing oxygen.

Loose lips sink ships
And get helicopters ful of SEALs shot down
And get our hapless troops killed at ‘” secret fire bases” that were probably tweeted to every terrorist in the middle east

Advisors? I think the proper description is “handlers”.

Yep. When I first saw the story a few days ago, I said that Obama was setting up for slaughter another group of our brave fighting men just like he set up Seal Team 6 members in that helicopter.

ISIS has a highly placed source in the White House, one who is sympathetic to terrorists in general and to Islamic terror in particular. I assume they get their information directly from him.

Since we didn’t do it at all right in Iraq and we are supposed to not be there at this point, let’s not put our troops there to play sitting duck any more. My Gd, worse than his family losing this wonderful young man, is what he died for. NOTHING.

Let’s not send troops into battle unless we do it right. One of my son’s best friends just joined the marines like his late daddy and I don’t want him to be forced to fight wars badly. Do it right or get out.

• and per Wikipedia/internet ... ...

At the age of two, Abedin moved with her family to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she was raised and lived until returning to the United States for college. ...

Abedin "has three family members – her late father, her mother and her brother – connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations...

quoting former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy writing at National Review this week – Huma Abedin “worked for many years at a journal that promotes Islamic supremacist ideology that was founded by a top al-Qaida financier, Abdullah Omar Naseef.” That would be for at least seven years (1996-2003), by the way, during which Abedin also worked for Hillary Clinton. ...

The journal Huma worked for – which promotes Islamic supremacism and was founded by al-Qaida financer Naseef, who also headed the Muslim World League, a leading Muslim Brotherhood organization – is called the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. It was edited first by Huma’s father, Syed Abedin, and now by her mother, Saleha Abedin. Saleha is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood. Mother Abedin also directs an organization (the International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child) that comes under the umbrella of the Union for Good, another U.S.-designated terrorist organization...
