After all the whole world knows about Seal Team 6 thanks to Biden & Obama.

Did anyone listen to Navy SEAL Vaughn’s Dad this morning on the Today Show?

He told a story about wolves, sheep (who a lot of people are = followers) and the sheepdogs (military) who hunt the wolves (bad guys) He went on to say something about a head sheep who talked about things 90 days ago..........then I lost the gist of it because Lauer tried to stop him at that point.

It seemed to me the story was about voters, politicians, the head dope 0 and muslims?

ATTN Mods: The following comments do not divulge classified information but has been sensitive and generally understood only and openly by the special warfare community. I offer it to clarify the news reports regarding this shoot down and previous comments by VP Biden.

Of the 22 NSW (Naval Special Warfare) members killed, 5 were direct support personnel and 17 were SEALs: 2 from a W Coast SEAL unit, and 15 from Gold Squadron of NSW Development Group, or DevGru, that has been called "SEAL Team 6" although such an operational name does not actually exist, it is a creation of the media and VP Biden.

DevGru consists of 4 "line squadrons": Blue, Gold, Red and Silver and the recon Black Squadron.

Each of the 4 line squadrons has three troops of usually 15 troops each. The 15 SEALs killed were an entire troop of Gold Squadron.

The 8 other US casualties were the 5 aircrew and 3 AF combat air controllers.

The aircraft and personnel were not a "quick reaction force" as has been reported but rather an “immediate reaction force” that was a part of the mission plan and onsite during the planned Army Special forces raid underway.

They had been on the ground for about two hours and were leaving when apparently, waiting for confirmation on this, a hostile fighter fired an RPG that hit the ascending aircraft.

There is much more to be said but I'll close by sending my deepest sympathy to the families of these patriots and warriors.

What happened to the “rescue mission”? If we got intel about a big Taliban meeting we would have sent a couple of missles in there, not a SEAL team. I don’t think I’m buying this new story.
