I laughed my butt off when I read this last night, especially because there are multiple cameras with flash taking photos at the same time (the same lamestream media criticizing the photo-op)...

If they had been really covert, the US Military would not have allowed them anywhere near the area were photos were being taken. Flashes going off in multiple cameras because the media outlets were there. Multiple photos taken from different media outlets.

The mainstream media gets apoplectic when the wind changes direction.

Stupid mainstream nonsense. I’ve been to Al Asad a few times in 2005-2006. A huge base! Incredible runway. (Good Pizza by the way). There was every branch of service..except maybe Coast Guard. DIA, NSA, CIA and likely a few more 3 letter agencies. I have no doubt that anyone who should not be filmed was not.. Stupid snowflake mentality. Should this nonsense be a surprise?

They were in full kit with low helmets and chin straps. I thought they all looked much the same, even the few in profile/partial profile. Their commander did present himself openly and by name. He was smiling, so I doubt he blames POTUS.
This is the same media that just a few hours previous, had criticized Donald for not visiting troops. zer0 visited troops stationed in Hawaii every year because he was already there....on vacation. Donald doesn’t take vacations. He goes to one of his own properties and works. Media criticizes that, as well, because his security costs taxpayer money.
It is very predictable and very boring. Just evokes eye-rolls.

Newsweek concerned about military operational security!

Full kit means they were protecting the president and probably continued that mission all the way back to Andrews

The press always have to say something negative. Wonder why no one is watching them!

I didn’t see one trident... Those guys in full battle rattle could have been anyone... If those guys didn’t want to be on tv or in press photos they wouldn’t have been there.

Which unit is there? Is that in the rest of the story? Did members pose for photographs? Did they have their personal devices and take pictures themselves? It seems like folks who want to avoid being photographed would avoid being photographed.

We need a death pool for Newsweek. I’m betting it goes belly up before the end of 2019.

THE FAMILIES OF SOME OF the 17 SEAL Team 6 commandos who were killed in an ambush in Afghanistan during a helicopter flight to help Army Rangers pinned down by Taliban gunmen accused the Obama administration of deliberately endangering their loved ones for political ends.
During a press conference on Washington Thursday, family and advocates for the fallen troops called into question the rules of engagement that they say prohibited their sons from being able to return fire, and the White House's decision to announce shortly after the killing of Osama bin Laden that SEAL Team 6 was responsible for the raid.
"In releasing their identity, they put a target on their backs," said Doug Hamburger, whose son, Army Staff Sgt. Patrick Hamburger, served among the helicopter's crew.
