While we must indeed praise the bravery and efficiency of the Navy SEALS in killing Osama bin Laden, we should not forget that this was a multi-service operation. In particular, we should also be celebrating the bravery and incredible aviator skills of the pilots and aircrews of the Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment out of Fort Campbell, KY.

The Best of the Best!

ROFL!. That belongs on a T-Shirt.
“I’ll give dear reader a small amount of credit for signing off on this.”
He “signed off” after 3 months of meetings. Leading from behind indeed.
Not the best audio of his song, but appropriate since it was done in Iraq for the troops: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MznFevDP3aU&feature=related
I believe SEAL Team Six prefers Bombay, and they take it straight. Make it Sapphire, and make it a triple.
To the SEALs - for the families of the fallen.
Never forgotten.
Nah. It will go to Obama's Re-election Campaign since he bravely gave the order to execute the mission.
Not pick nits, but OPERATION URGENT FURY was the Grenada operation. OPERATION JUST CAUSE was the operation aimed at the arrest of Noriega in Panama.
