Look up the other stories on this. Some indicate it was bound for Somalia.
Some indicate 12 pirates were detained and their boat sunk.
Who else was with the two SEALs?
Overall, someone is lying.
Dude, I have a list of questions about this one...
If CENTCOM is talking, they’re lying, probably these days more than ever.
I haven’t delved too deep into this story, but will read further.
You’ll see, just hit up different sources.
Yep
It could also be a statement on the judgment of a man who might be found dead, if that is even the way the 2nd man ended up in the water.
Reyes may not have wanted to make a firm statement on that detail.
I don’t know who someone could swim with a weapon and chest gear with three or four full mags and other items and in rough seas. Prayers are up.

the other SEAL — following protocol — jumped in after him to help
Seems like an odd protocol.
Not really. Leave no man behind is drilled into the SEALs early and often.
Additionally, two usually will have a better chance of survival than one by himself.
the nightmare is they were captured. Most US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan said they would save their last bullet for themselves to avoid capture.
A most excellent question.
