I don’t think our Military would.

And our Joint Chiefs would never allow a foxhole to be occupied by fudge packers.

Our leadership has been queered up for a long time, so don't tell me what someone does in the privacy of their bedroom doesn’t affect me.

My feeling about the chopper down story before I got details was some sort of retaliation for killing bin Laden.

You skipped one...Obama. He couldn’t get to a camera fast enough that Sunday night to take his victory lap. He wanted to bring them (SEAL Team 6) to the WH (think like the Super Bowl champs) for a photo op.

If this was NOT an accident, then the Adm MADE ST6 targets with their proclaimations and media blitz.

I have been watching Fox News and they were talking about the SEALs so I had no info regarding the other crew/passengers.

This is just awful. Although the SEALs are the highest profile victims, all are missed and will be looked upon as heroes of the Republic.

The leaks were possibly an attempt to get us to believe that what Obama told us had happened actually did.

The whole country is put at risk when you have a pathological liar/forger as your leader, because people need to have everything proven to them - which jeopardizes people who need to have the details secret. In order for some things to work you have to be able to TRUST, but that is impossible when the entire system has lied and broken laws in order to cover for an illegal (probably Kenyan) usurper.

There is nobody we can trust, and the politicians don’t comprehend what an impossible situation that places us all in. When the crooks control Congress, the White HOuse, all the regulatory agencies, law enforcement, the courts, the schools, the science community, and the media... there is no way for a country to survive. When will people realize that the infected, pus-filled abscess will kill a person if it is not removed? Unless we clean up the corruption so that the process can be trusted, we can only expect the good to die as a consequence of the conniving, traitorous bad holding all the power.

Every politician who poo-poohed the need for the rule of law as it related to Obama’s eligibility needs to answer for the details that have to be leaked just to try to convince the public that the lying, forging pretender in the White House is actually telling the truth on something for once. Let those politicians explain to the families of these SEALS that trust is such an insignificant, frivolous thing.

In today's military, full of muslims? Why not?

Very reminiscent of Ron Brown’s “accident” during the Clinton years.

I still wonder if the "accident" was due to a .45 Magsafe or a .45 Glaser.

Blood on their hands and I for one will never forget this. Just let my Navy son in Norfolk know. He texted me “wow, what a coincidence”.

“Top picks..Brennan, Biden and Jarret.”

But, isn’t it hussein that meets on a regular basis with the muslim brotherhood. Surely, if this was supposed to be another mission to get a top level muzzie, hussein would have been in on it.

I come from a Navy family ...

Used to be that when special ops were carried out, only the result and scant details were released to the public ...

NOW, the government feels compelled to primp and preen in front of the media - giving up MOST of the details of the op ...

Any idiot in Afghanistan could run with this information that was served up on a silver platter and [with a little detective work on his own] figure out who, what, where, when, why, and how ...

Then, its easy to lay in wait ...

The government should shut the fu*k up !!!

Keep the removal thought and enrage a liberal by supporting the Naval Special Warfare Foundation. Great organization in times like these.
Not unusual to have an entire assault element on one bird. Just sucks, time to help those families, leave the dead to care for the dead, time for us Living in Christ to show compassion and Love to those families.

White House photo of President Obama learning about the helicopter crash in Afghanistan that claimed 31 U.S. lives, including over 20 members of SEAL Team 6, the same unit that killed Osama bin Laden. None of the members who took part in the bin Laden raid itself are believed to be among the dead.

Yes, incredible that only the traitors in government learn so well the tricks. How come the populace never learn or remember? Same old tricks and the people still fall for it. So sad.

Why would there be a photo of this unless it was planned? Or are you just spoofing the “serious and presidential” look from an archive of photos of this nitwit?

What GOLF course pros’ office was this photo taken in? It looks like 1980s office equipment. They pull him off the course? Note, golf shirt is the perfect shade of HopeyChangey Blue.

The seals are very very descreet in all that they do...Someone somewhere leaked something...Its also sounds like someone (obama) wanted the attention away from the credit rating dropping...Something is not right here!
