WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. officials tell The Associated Press that they believe that none of the Navy SEALs who died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan had participated in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, although they were from the same unit that carried out the bin Laden mission.

 

Sources say that more than 20 Navy SEALs were among those lost in the crash in Afghanistan.

 

The operators from SEAL Team Six were flown by a regular Army crew. That's according to AP military sources.

 

Another source says the team was thought to include 22 SEALs, three Air Force air controllers, seven Afghan Army troops, a dog and his handler, and a civilian interpreter, plus the helicopter crew.

 

The sources thought this was the largest single loss of life ever for SEAL Team Six, known as the Naval Special Warfare Development Group.

 

All sources spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters.

DeBearfans and I were talking about the military a lot last night, so this is interesting.

 

Anyways, I bet you Seal Team Six didn't even kill Bid Laden. It was probably Delta Force anyways, as they had almost captured Bin Laden years ago before the stupid ass Pakistani's raised their guns at our military men.

So we lie about who actually killed him because...?

Delta Force is as secret as it gets. You can't apply to be in Delta Force. They will recruit you, and often times their recruits are the top SEALS, top Recon Marines, ect. They take no credit for anything, and like to remain out of the spotlight. They are very secretive with everything they do, and there's a very good chance that they had something to do with eliminating Bin Laden.

 

You should try reading up on them. I've been doing a lot of reading about them recently, and it's very interesting.
