"Someone ordered all those Seals on to that Chinook - from what I have read, that just isn’t done under any normal circumstances."

I just finished Marcus Luttrell's book "Lone Survivor" last week and they did send a chinook with several SEALs on board in an attempt to rescue Luttrell and his team. That chinook was destroyed by an RPG, killing everyone on board.

I am not saying that all these Seals wouldn’t have been sent to save that one man - I am saying that their policy is not to all be on the same aircraft at the same time.
