‘BETRAYED’ Exposing the High Cost of the War on Terror: The Shocking Sacrifice of America’s Special Ops Forces by MAJ. GEN. PAUL E. VALLELY, US ARMY (RET) July 15, 2013

The Tragedy of Extortion 17 (the demise of Navy SEALs and other Special Ops) On August 06, 2011, Taliban forces ambushed the US Army helicopter CH-47, call name "Extortion 17," in the Tangi River Valley of Afghanistan. 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. Together they offer their book today and Hugo House Publishers, Ltd, is preparing to release it - all about the tragedy of Extortion 17: BETRAYED Exposing the High Cost of the War on Terror: The Shocking Sacrifice of America's Special Ops Forces

The book goes beyond which was discussed in their press conference of May 9th, 2013 at the National Press Club accompanied by other family members of the fallen and noted members of the military. It exposes the political policies and failed ideology that precipitated the unconscionable tragedy of Extortion 17. The book is co-authored by Billy Vaughn and Major General Vallely (US Army Ret). This heart-wrenching book is a must-read. The book also raises awareness and presents details regarding the possible infiltration of the Taliban into the Afghan Government, and sheds light on other security issues. The official release of the book August, next month, the 2nd anniversary of the demise of Extortion 17 and the death of 30 American warriors. Read about the hard truths. To order, if the button to the left doesn't work, simply click on the link below. http://www.specialopsbetrayed.com/ The warriors on that CH-47 Chinook helicopter were compromised by their leaders: the same ‘leaders' who are supposed to be uniting and securing this nation, the same ‘leaders' who have ordered surveillance on Americans through the NSA, the same ‘leaders' who have used the IRS to stymie voices of dissent in our country' the same ‘leaders' who investigated the press and media, and singled out news organizations, the same ‘leaders' who forced unwanted and crushing regulations and laws upon us, the same ‘leaders' that left not just our fighting men and women at risk, but our country, our homes, our families unprotected and unsafe. © Stand Up America 2013 A portion of the proceeds from the book will go to the Scott Vallely Soldiers Memorial Fund, which supports families of fallen soldiers, their families, and those who are stepping up to serve; and Operation 300, which supports specifically the children of fallen warriors.

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?

“Sacrificed”?

Or “eliminated”?

“Sacrificed”?

Or “eliminated”?....”

As an x-military member, I am convinced that our government is not our friend (any more)...

the truth WILL come out - ‘bumbles messed with the wrong ‘team’

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.

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.

The word you're searching for is SILENCED. This current criminal regime must not have any of its criminal lies exposed.

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 .

The Mahdi is not an ally of the Al Quada. His attachment is to the Suadi-Wahhabi form of Sunni Islam. OBL was an enemy of the House of Saud and his cohorts remain the same. The Saudis are the official guardians of the Holy Cities and any orthodox Sunni Muslim owes them fealty. I doubt the mahdi is a practicing Muslim. He probably made the shahada, or declaration of faith, while he was a schoolboy in Indonesia. That is a powerful thing to do and even those who no longer count themselves as Muslims have a hard time totally breaking the psychological linkage that such a declaration generates. More directly he certainly knows that Islam is oppositional to the philosophical basis of the United States. He sees the US as the enemy of everything he believes in as a leftist. So identifying with Islam without really believing the supernatural parts of it makes sense. Muslims oppose America and consider it , at some level, their enemy; Obama detests the United States and sees it as the enemy of the ‘progressive’ (revolutionary marxist) cause. Therefor he identifies with that which is profoundly but covertly oppositional to the US.

This would account for Obama wearing a shahada ring as a wedding ring :

As a student at Harvard Law School, then-bachelor Barack Obama’s 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 couple’s 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!!!
