Navy SEAL's father: Obama sent my son to his death

Tells Michael Savage 'they knew something was up' Published: 10 hours ago

The father of one of the 25 Navy SEALs killed in August 2011 when their Chinook helicopter was shot down by the Taliban in Afghanistan, told talk-host Michael Savage he believes the U.S. government sent his son and his colleagues to their deaths.

After Vice President Joe Biden revealed that SEAL Team 6 carried out the operation that killed Osama bin Laden in May 2011, Strange said the members of his son’s team gave startling indications to their families they were about to meet their demise.

Charles Strange, the father of slain SEAL Michael Strange, told Savage Wednesday night that in June 2011, on at least three separate occasions his son grabbed him by the bicep and announced that he had prepared his will.

The bewildered father finally was able to find out what it all meant.

Michael Strange, his father recalled, said, “Something’s going on with the team. Somebody’s leaking things out. Something’s going on.”

Savage, reacting with emotion, asked: “Your son knew he was being sent to his death?”

“They knew,” Strange replied. “They knew something was up. Every one of them.”

Listen to the interview with Michael Savage.

Other families of the victims have reported similar experiences with their sons the last time they saw them, Strange said.

"The families have filed a lawsuit against President Obama, Vice President Biden, the Taliban, the governments of Afghanistan and Iran, because the Islamic regime promises to pay $10,000 for every dead U.S. service member."

As a father, the last thing I would allow is for my children, or grandchildren to serve in the military under such a CINC. It is throwing one’s life away for no purpose.

Obama ‘Put a Target on Their Backs’, SEAL Team 6 Family Members Say

Deadly crash in Afghanistan could have been avoided, they say

By Paul D. Shinkman
May 9, 2013 RSS Feed Print

Brian Bill, John Douangdara, Kevin Houston, Jonas Kelsall, Jon Tumilson, Michael Strange, Stephen M. Mills and Jason Workman, members of SEAL Team 6, were among the 30 Americans and eight Afghans killed when a rocket-propelled grenade fired by a Taliban insurgent downed their Chinook helicopter en route to a combat mission on August 6, 2011.

The families of some of the 17 SEAL Team 6 commandos who were killed in an ambush in Afghanistan during a helicopter flight to help Army Rangers pinned down by Taliban gunmen accused the Obama administration of deliberately endangering their loved ones for political ends.

During a press conference on Washington Thursday, family and advocates for the fallen troops called into question the rules of engagement that they say prohibited their sons from being able to return fire, and the White House’s decision to announce shortly after the killing of Osama bin Laden that SEAL Team 6 was responsible for the raid.

“In releasing their identity, they put a target on their backs,” said Doug Hamburger, whose son, Army Staff Sgt. Patrick Hamburger, served among the helicopter’s crew.

There is definitely something really dirty about this. Benghazi looks like a minor screw up in comparison.

SEAL Team VI Family: ‘Obama’s Rules Are Getting Our Warriors Killed’

by Patrick S. Poole 15 Oct 2012 475 post a comment
Just three months after the raid by Navy SEAL Team VI that killed Osama bin Laden, those same SEALs were in the news yet again—but for an entirely different reason.

On August 6, 2011, while on their way to assist an ongoing mission in Wardak Province, Afghanistan, the CH-47D Chinook helicopter that they were riding in was shot down by an RPG fired by a Taliban fire team approaching their landing zone in Tangi Valley. All 38 American and Afghan service members who were aboard perished, including 17 Navy SEALS, 5 Navy Special Operations support personnel, 3 Air Force Special Tactics Airmen and the five-man Chinook crew, marking the largest loss of life in America’s 11 years of military operations in Afghanistan. Twenty of the twenty-two SEALs and SEAL support were from SEAL Team VI (DEVGRU).

The parents of one of the SEALs killed in the Chinook attack, Special Operations Chief Aaron Vaughn, are raising questions about how the Obama administration has pushed the limits of the military’s Special Operations Forces as part of its war policy (e.g. the Feb. 20th Newsweek story, “Obama’s Secret Army”), and how constrictive “rules of engagement” intended to win the “hearts and minds” of the Afghan people directly contributed to the deaths of all those aboard the helicopter.

Karen and Billy Vaughn are now trying to raise awareness of some of the problems that they believe continue to cause American service members to be killed in Afghanistan. And to support their case they have a copy of the redacted, now declassified CENTCOM report on the incident that they say raises more questions than it answers.

“Families of Navy SEALs killed in downed Chinook blame Obama and military brass

The press conference began with Larry Klayman, president of Freedom Watch and founder of the citizen watchdog group, Judicial Watch, delivering the introductory remarks. Klayman summarized the families’ grievances as follows:

Obama and Joe Biden improperly revealed the identities of the Navy SEALs who were on the mission to assassinate Osama bin Laden, thereby putting “a target” on the backs of the SEALs.
The Chinook helicopter was “inadequate,” as was its pilot.
When the Chinook was attacked by the Taliban, our side “couldn’t return fire” and was “handcuffed.”
At the funeral in Bagram Airfield in Kabul, Afghanistan, for our servicemen, Jesus’ name couldn’t be mentioned but instead an imam prayed.

Here’s the video of the press conference, which is nearly 3 hours long.”

Very sad but nothing will be done about all this and Obama will leave office and live a long and rich life and the media will make him the best President of our lifetime. Unless a higher power will punish him one day but I know we will not see this in our lifetime.

they were blood reparations given up by islamist apologists in our government to appease the Taliban and/or the Pak intel service for Osama

imagine

believing that of our own government

the parents of hero Aaron Vaughn have received death threats and are fearful of even discussing the fact that a radical imam participated in the SEAL 6 memorial service and cursed our soldiers as part of the US govt-sponsored memorial service

One of the commenters on the WND page says Savage has gone off the air for awhile because of death threats from this interview. Is that true?

EXCLUSIVE: Benghazi hero fought alongside fallen SEALs, still recovering at Walter Reed

By Catherine Herridge
Published July 25, 2013
FoxNews.com

One of the most severely wounded survivors of the Benghazi terror attack, Diplomatic Security agent David Ubben, risked his life to help save his fellow Americans, and is still being treated at Walter Reed medical center to this day, Fox News has learned.

Hearing of the details from Fox News, Sean Smith’s mother Pat said she hopes one day to meet Ubben in person.

“Thank you very much for what you’ve done,” Pat Smith said, her voice filled with gratitude but also anger. “Why couldn’t the government have done the same thing? I think (Ubben) is a hero. He absolutely is a hero along with the two Seals that got it. There’s no reason for all these people to die.”

The acts which should have the most repercussions on the POS CIC we have are the murder of seal team 6, the Benghazi massacre, and the fast and furious gun matter. Through obfuscation, denial, and outright withholding of records or purjury, the rat was able to sidestep FandF. If he had not paid Mexico off with the immigration matter, they could have made an international incident over more than 200 of their citizens being mauled by an out of control criminal government here. Alas, done and buried now. Seal Team 6 will have the same end. Merely identifying the group publicly put a target on them...loose lips sink ships as our website days but of course Barry et al will say they did not mean to do anything untoward. The only one that can put a glove on this bunch now is Benghazi. I don’t want that over looked due to the IRS matter or any other that comes up....they are merely chad. Lerner and the IRS chief counsel will lie their way out or better for the administration still say what they did was on their own...dead end. Remember this, no one died in Watergate. Our Nixon like tan leader cannot outrun that commentary. The Congress MUST keep up the pressure and especially get to the point of where was Mr. Leader after 5PM and what did his administration due to help those personnel in harms way. I don’t mean some inquiry as to security measures in place, they need to find out what happened when the shooting started, why was that cover story put out and who is to blame. The president has immunity but those below him DO NOT.

Share sentiments - and worry - per those ‘serving’ under inauthentic Leadership whereby our Military goals traitorously contradict every American Value. These same, a-patriotic Leadership, periodically, call up visions of a Military Draft being reinstated as no doubt; they can easily predict their needs,

I cannot believe you said that.

What Cindy Sheehan types are you speaking about.

These people have valid suspicions. Everything about that mission was wrong.
