This transport helicopter was moving an American reaction force in a relief operation of US Army Rangers that were engaged in a three-hour firefight. Thirty Americans, twenty-five of which were Special Operations, Were aboard that helicopter. One of these warriors was Navy SEAL, Aaron Vaughn. The tragedy of Extortion 17 on that fateful night in Afghanistan will not fade away because of the efforts of a few brave men and women. Billy Vaughn, father of fallen Navy SEAL Aaron Vaughn, and Major General Paul Vallely are among them and are now relating a grave incident and its political roots. Billy Vaughn stands in the defense of American freedom from tyranny; and MG Paul Vallely (US Army Ret.) stands by his side because of his clear-cut military perspective and his extensive background in Special Ops.

One wonders, is there no one in the military with a sense of self-preservation?
We saw the same sort of thing with the Carter Administration and the Clinton Administration. Would we expect anything different from the 0bama Administration?
sounds like our people were “sacrificed”......?
Burial at sea my ass...
There is a lot more fishiness around this than any of the other fantasy’s the left Diggs in on, but they are silent.
This still brings tears to my eyes. I will never believe this Admin had no hand in the downing of the helicopter .
“Sacrificed”?
Or “eliminated”?
Sacrificed?
Or eliminated?....”
As an x-military member, I am convinced that our government is not our friend (any more)...
this limp-wristed, lily-livered puke hasn't a clue what REAL men - and HONOR and Patriot - means. He couldn't even earn a merit badge in the B-Scouts. Well, maybe he could now - an ‘Honorary Rainbow Badge:...
I pray he'll live long enough to find out just what a mistake it was to order this strike on our Patriots...
(And no, I don't believe O-Sama is dead - and those seals could’ve spilled the beans...or, another possibility, they DID kill him, but the strike was carried out AGAINST ‘bumbles wishes - he was hauled in off the golf course, sat down in a corner from which he couldn’t leave and told to ‘watch’ - so the strike on our Seals was Chigcao-muzzie-narcissist pay-back.)
Set up and executed. There was no need to send them on this mission, much less in a low and slow rickey old broken down unarmed chopper, with the enemy pre-informed and ready to knock it down. Wherre is the accountability.....AGAIN
Shocking, indeed.
It’s a wonder that anyone would even volunteer for Special Forces when they get no backup whatsoever from President Obama or the State Department.
FYI
It never occurred to me that their deaths were meant to silence them. But I remember thinking when I first heard of the deaths of these brave and honorable men that it was a payback to the scuzzlims for the taking of Osama. Tis thought occurred to be as an explanation for why it would be revealed to the world just who these dead warriors were.
May their souls rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon them.
I’ve always believed this was payback in Obama making a deal to “allegedly” get Osama but in returns he promises to let them kill the SEAL’s...stand with the muzzards no matter what.
Maybe it’s a conspiracy on my part because I have NO evidence, just a gut feeling the whole thing didn’t feel right and as many folks on here know my cousin is an officer in a SEAL team so it hurts bigtime when I read this and I had to find names.
So yes, I’m biased but it just doesn’t “feel “ right.
Where is this book sold?
To many dead patriots. On all fronts. Queers in the rear. Military is systematically being destroyed. Remaining force model: janissaries .
This would account for Obama wearing a shahada ring as a wedding ring :
As a student at Harvard Law School, then-bachelor Barack Obamas practice of wearing a gold band on his wedding-ring finger puzzled his colleagues.
Now, newly published photographs of Obama from the 1980s show that the ring Obama wore on his wedding-ring finger as an unmarried student is the same ring Michelle Robinson put on his finger at the couples wedding ceremony in 1992.
Moreover, according to Arabic-language and Islamic experts, the ring Obama has been wearing for more than 30 years is adorned with the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith, the Shahada: There is no god except Allah.

So obama is happy to use the US armed forces to fight the enemies of the House of Saud. While doing so he really could care less what happens to these people who he basically detests as agents of American imperialism. Concern with exposing US military personnel to harm because of sharing information with a notoriously compromised regime is therefore nonexistent. if something bad happens to US military personnel that is ‘unfortunate’, yawn.
The Mahdi is a twisted and hate filled and psychologically compromised man. His lack of concern about exposing US military personnel (especially if they are overwhelmingly white, male heterosexuals) only mirrors his disdain for the lives and wellbeing of all Americans who belong to the ‘oppressing’ groups in the US.
They have taken an OATH to the Constitution, but they use that paper hanging on their toilet roll in their bathrooms. Only a few did NOT, i.e. Patriot Lt.Col Lakin!!!
