THE CHINOOK CRASH - DISPELLING THE MYTHS

This was so predictable - it wasn't even twenty-four hours after we got the terrible news of the Chinook tragedy SEAL Team 6, other US and Afghani military personnel in a non-SpecOps bird shot down by the Taliban, that the rumor mill started churning out speculation and outright misinformation. A reader emailed me asking if there was anything to a spectacular conspiracy theory making the rounds, and he included the base document: essentially, the SEALs had been set up for ambush by an individual within the Obama Administration in an attempt to silence them about the truth of who was or was not in that compound they entered during the Osama hit. Somehow of course this is all tied in to the Birth Certificate nonsense.

I sent a reply discrediting the conspiracy, why and how it could not possibly be, but had no intention of taking it any further - this site is dedicated to honoring our warrior class and there is no honor in re-transmitting this kind of horse hockey. This is a legitimate military blog, not a forum for the MoonBats of the Tinfoil Hat Brigade that populate every nook and cranny of both sides of the aisle.

Then early this morning Blogmeister Theo - mentor of STORMBRINGER and Enfant Terrible of the worthy site Last of the Few - emailed me and asked, "Is this bullshit or is there some thing in it?" Attached was the same email that I'd seen a week earlier. I include the text here only so that I may dismantle this outrageous theory by the numbers, and in doing so see that our warrior's honor may remain intact and that their spirits may rest in the Hall of Heroes in Valhalla, which no doubt is where they are now.

SEAL TEAM SIX - INVESTIGATE THE WHITE HOUSE!

The Execution of SEAL Team Six (Part 1) Posted by Ann Barnhardt - August 6, AD 2011 4:08 PM MST

On May 5th I had an email conversation with a retired military man with spook contacts . . .

(Bullshit Flag #1: "retired military man with spook contacts" could be ANYBODY - Hell, I've got "spook contacts" in fact at one point I WAS a spook, even though the spooks didn't call us that they called us Sneaky Petes and we just called ourselves Snakeaters.)

All were in total agreement that the Bin Laden episode was pure theater. The SEALS were sent into a compound as evidenced by the lost chopper on site. But Osama Bin Laden wasn't in that compound. Osama Bin Laden has been dead for years. Bin Laden had a genetic condition that caused renal failure (this genetic condition is common among deeply inbred Saudi arab muslims). Bin Laden had been on dialysis BEFORE 9/11.

(Bullshit Flag #2: The-kidney-failure-dialysis-theory had been going around for years prior to 9/11 in fact back in '98 an analyst at CIA explained to me a school of thought: just leave bin Laden alone and let him die of kidney failure that way we don't make a martyr out of him. Absolutely no proof one way or the other on the condition of bin Laden's kidneys and if you looked at his videos and photos he certainly didn't LOOK like a candidate for dialysis)

Dialysis is difficult enough for people in first world countries who can have it done in outstanding facilities. Bin Laden was having it done either in caves or in homes post 9/11. People in renal failure having dialysis done in fricking caves do NOT live for ten more years. Period. There was no dialysis equipment found in the compound the SEALS raided on May 2. Of course there wasn't. Bin Laden wasn't in that compound because Bin Laden has been dead for years.

(Bullshit Flag #3: Could it be the absence of dialysis equipment simply confirms that the whole bin Laden kidney failure thing was a pipe dream concocted at Langley in the first place?)

This is why the "body" was declared "positively identified" faster than any known DNA testing process in existence - and this DNA testing was carried out not in a lab mind you, but inside a Chinook and/or V-22 Osprey helos en route to the USS Carl Vinson. The body was then dumped into the Indian Ocean in a mad dash to ensure that "burial" took place within 24 hours of death in order to "honor" musloid burial traditions. Not a single picture of the so-called "Bin Laden corpse" has ever been released - and never will.

(Bullshit Flag #4: The DNA results weren't immediately available they took time, and don't be in such a hurry to claim that no picture will ever be released - while I personally disagree with the decision not to release the picture that whole episode was carefully stage-managed and Obama is such a crafty pol I wouldn't be at all surprised if photos emerge some time prior to the election to make him look like a hero. Either that or the fact that bin Laden was shot in the back of the head and they CAN'T release THAT - Law of Land Warfare and all that . . .)

The entire Bin Laden episode was stagecraft. It was pure theater that was designed to give Obama a boost in the polls and give distraction and cover. Distract from what? Cover from what?

April 20, 2011: The release date of Dr. Jerome Corsi's book, "Where's the Birth Certificate" is announced as May 17, and pre-sales begin on Amazon.com. Corsi's work is known to be extremely thorough and meticulous. Within hours, Corsi's book is #1 on Amazon.com - fully 28 days before its release. The Obama regime is panicked.

(Bullshit Flag #5: This is where the conspiracy theory really gets complicated . . . I know this is an ordeal but bear with me here people . . .)

April 27, 2011: In order to diffuse and undercut the Corsi book, the Obama regime releases a PDF image purported to be a scan of his original long-form Hawaiian birth certificate. Within hours, thousands of graphic designers, many of whom are self-professed Obama voters and supporters, isolate and demonstrate with dozens of objective proof sets that the PDF released by the Obama regime is not just a forgery, but an astoundingly incompetent and obvious forgery.

April 27 through May 2: The Obama regime is now in a blind panic. Deeming it too risky, instead of commissioning the forged birth certificate from document and photo illustration experts within the CIA or NSA, the Obama regime instead farmed the project off on someone inside the White House with a functional but middling knowledge of photo illustration programs. To the thoroughly inexpert eyes of Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett, the forged certificate file appeared extremely convincing, and was thus released with fanfare. Within hours, they knew that they had not only made a mistake, but a massive mistake that could land them all in prison. The forger was so incompetent that he/she didn't even flatten the image thus compressing and masking the component layers before posting it. And that was just the tip of the iceberg of glaring flaws and errors. The mainstream press was, so far, completely complicit in the cover-up of the forgery, but Rathergate proved that if the forgery debunking generated any mainstream traction whatsoever, the end could come swiftly. The Obama regime needed a big distraction and they needed it fast. They had been planning on holding the staged Bin Laden capture and killing until 2012 - for the thick of the campaign, and perhaps as an "October Surprise", but it would have to be moved up to now.

May 2, 2011: The Bin Laden operation occurs. In all likelihood, a low-to-mid level Taliban or insurgent leader is killed.

(Bullshit Flag #6: As with most conspiracy theories, this one falls flat on it's face right here with the sheer number of individuals required to keep their mouths shut in order to keep the whole thing secret and therefore effective against the public. First of all two entire platoons of SEALs have to be in on the scheme, then there's the medical personnel and whoever else accompanied ST6 on the raid - JSOC operations are "Joint" and typically include EOD attachments at a MINIMUM not to mention Delta guys were there as well, the mortuary personnel on board the Carl Vinson who prepared the body for burial at sea, and then everybody in the chain between the Whitehouse and the tactical operations center the raid launched out of. How many people are we up to by now? Somewhere between two to five hundred, I'd say.)

May 3, 2011: Within hours, Vice President Joe Biden destroys any notions of OPSEC and bellows to the entire world in public remarks at a dinner at the Ritz Carlton that the Bin Laden raid was carried out by "the SEALS".

(Bullshit Flag #7: There is no way known ANYBODY would make Biden a member of their secret conspiracy - unwitting participant or otherwise - the man is simply TOO STUPID to be depended on to do anything short of f*cking it up completely. In fact that's his value to Barry Soetero; he's Obama's Life Insurance policy - as long as Biden is #2 in line to the throne NOBODY is going to off Obama because the alternative is simply too unbearable to consider, even for the Democrats.)

Within hours Obama regime had gleefully leaked that the raid was carried out by "SEAL Team 6?, also known as DEVGRU. Up until this point in history, all DEVGRU activities and information had been highly classified. Now the term "SEAL Team 6" was blasted across every newspaper in the world, with Disney even moving to trademark the name. The Obama regime wanted the ENTIRE WORLD to know the name "SEAL Team 6".

(Bullshit Flag #8: The term "SEAL Team 6" isn't classified and DEVGRU is a part of the deception game the military has to play to keep the Freedom of Information Act requests from busting out servicemembers assigned to classified units - just like the Army denies the existence of a "Delta Force" and technically speaking they're right - officially it's SFOD-D and I'm not going to blurt out the other acronym but take my word for it who "SEAL Team 6" are and what they do has been open source knowledge for decades . . . just because the writer of this tripe didn't know and some Gen Xer over at Disney thought they could copyright a military unit's name and numerical designation only means two things: A) Jack, and B) Sh*t)

May 5, 2011: As I said earlier, I conversed with retired military contact with spook contacts regarding the obvious theatrics of the Bin Laden episode and the need for a cover-up by the Obama regime. The conversation ended with the following exchange:

(SEE: Bullshit Flag #1)

Ann: I'm on the US Military casualty email list. It would be NO PROBLEM to "hide" casualties. It's a steady stream out of Afghanistan.

Contact: look for training accidents in the eastern mountains.

May 6, 2011: Obama travels to Ft. Campbell, KY to openly "meet and congratulate" SEAL Team 6 members.

(Bullshit Flag #9: DEVGRU is stationed in Little Creek Virginia - everyone knows this. Everyone, that is, except this moonbat. 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) a.k.a. Task Force 160 a.k.a. the 160th a.k.a. Task Force is stationed at Ft. Campbell. Obama probably had a photo op with a bunch of rotorheads. Very special, elite rotorheads, but rotorheads nonetheless. There is no way on God's Green Earth that ST6 operators - or Delta for that matter - are going to pose in front of a bunch of cameras and let the whole world know who they are. Ain't gonna happen, no way known. How stupid is this Ann Barnhardt bird?)

This receives huge press coverage, and the press declares the incident "a huge boost [for Obama] going into 2012." Video citation here:

(Like I said I'm not propagating this bird's craziness. Simply not gonna do it, not no how, no way.)


PART TWO:

The Execution of SEAL Team Six (Part 2)
Posted by Ann Barnhardt - August 6, AD 2011 4:07 PM MST

August 6, 2011: A Chinook helo is shot down in Tangi, Wardak Province, Afghanistan. Within hours, before family notifications could possibly have been completed, global press accounts positively confirm that 22 of the 30 Americans killed were not just SEALS, but members of SEAL Team 6. Again, DEVGRU operations have been, up until now, highly classified. Today, the Obama regime made a point of immediately revealing the unit identities of the SPECOPS forces among the dead.
In the past, DEVGRU men and other SPECOPS men have been killed in action, but their missions were so secret and so crucial to OPSEC that their deaths were covered-up by the government and attributed to such things as "training accidents" and the like - and I have no problem with that.

(Bullshit Flag #10: MoonBat Annie has never heard of Blackhawk Down, apparently - or did I miss the memo that we'd somehow convinced the world that the entire Battle of Mogadishu was one giant training accident?)

These men understand going in to intense units such as DEVGRU that OPSEC is paramount, that they will never be publicly acknowledged for their heroism, and that if they are killed or captured in action, the government will lie about that in order to protect OPSEC and to prevent the enemy from gaining a propaganda and morale coup.

(Bullshit Flag #11: The Delta operators (and Rangers) who died in the Mog' were identified after the fact - I know because I helped bury one of them - Griz Martin is clearly identified in the book Blackhawk Down.)

Compare that reality with what happened today. The Obama regime distributed this information, and the Obama regime's lapdog press instantly splashed headlines declaring this as the Taliban's "REVENGE" for the "death of Bin Laden." As I write this now, the Drudge Report headline in bright red reads, "REVENGE: SEALS WHO GOT OSAMA KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN."

I'll say what everyone else is thinking but is too scared to say. The Obama regime is almost certainly directly complicit in these deaths. The time, location and most especially, the PASSENGERS in the Chinook were passed to the Taliban. Additionally, you can't take out a Chinook with small arms fire or even standard RPGs such as the Taliban use. The Taliban needed serious weaponry to take this helo down, and that serious weaponry needed to be in exactly the right spot at exactly the right time, ready to fire.

(Bullshit Flag #12: An RPG will blow a hole straight through either of a Chinook's two jet engines - one on either side of the rear tail - or the transmission and all the gears and shafts located between the two engines. Or you could blast away at the cockpit - hell, a .22 long rifle could pop through those plexiglass windows so you know 4.5 lbs of rocket-powered shaped charge (which is what an RPG is) could do the trick any day of the week.)

Why would the Obama regime kill Americans? I think the question is, why WOULDN'T the Obama regime kill Americans? The Obama regime is composed of Marxist-Leninist psychopaths. A glancing, superficial survey of 20th century history shows one glaring fact above all others: MARXISTS MURDER PEOPLE WITHOUT COMPUNCTION. Marxists also hate Americans, by definition.

(Bullshit Flag #13: I don't know about you, but conspiracy to commit murder is a BIG ethical dilemma for most people, and participating in the killing of people is NOT as easy as it sounds. There might be some wild-eyed, politically inspired leftists in the Whitehouse but if they were willing to go this far, I imagine we'd be having a whole lot more political killings on a local level than a complex operation like this one calls for.)

Three tacks:

1. The men on board the Chinook may have been some of the same men who participated or had direct knowledge of the staged Bin Laden raid and were killed to permanently silence them.

2. These DEVGRU men were killed to send a signal to the surviving DEVGRU men who carried out the Bin Laden raid to keep their mouths shut.

(Bullshit Flag #14: I know what kind of men these SEALs are because I'm of the same tribe and let me tell you, we don't scare easy. If I suspected for one micro-second that someone in my chain of command was responsible for the deliberate deaths of my comrades, THEY'D be the ones put on notice and their physical survival would involve going to ground and becoming invisible FAST because me and a lot of guys like me would going after them.)

3. Certainly, the release of the unit identity of the dead within hours - before even family notification could have been made (which requires an IN PERSON visit to the family, remember) was an obvious bow to Al Qaeda, the Taliban and the entire muslim world.

(Bullshit Flag #15: The individuals who perished on the Chinook were not identified for days after the family notification. This crazy bird simply does not understand how the family notification process works. Identifying the unit, and identifying the individuals are two completely separate things.)

This event was INSTANTLY propagandized by the Obama media as "revenge" exacted for Bin Laden's death. And remember, Bin Laden has been dead for many years. The raid of May 2 was pure stagecraft to distract the world from the release of the forged Obama birth certificate.

I am not a conspiracy theorist.

(Bullshit Flag #16: If you're not a conspiracy theorist, then how come you're spreading this incredible conspiracy theory that strains the imagination and fails the common sense test at every twist and turn of your convoluted theory?)

I can't stand Alex Jones or any 9/11 truther. I have turned down dozens of interviews with such types. In fact, I am a huge believer in the Lex Parsimoniae, which is sometimes called "Occam's Razor", which states that the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one. I teach this as part of my job, namely that the cattle markets are neither manipulated nor impossible to operate within at a profit. The reality is that the cattle industry participants do not make money because they are functionally incompetent. It is very, very simple. True conspiracies are very rare.

This entire Obama situation is a conspiracy, and I say that without the slightest hesitation. Obama is not a citizen of the United States, he is a puppet front for a cabal of Marxist-Leninsts including Soros, Ayers, Dohrn, Strong, Jarrett and many, many others. These people are enemies of the United States. These people are deeply psychologically damaged, and are capable of ordering people murdered in order to protect themselves and increase their own power. The three dead homosexual black men from Trinity United Church of Christ, Young, Bland and Spencer, all of whom were sexually linked to Barack Obama, were probably the first people specifically murdered by the Obama regime.
(WHATEVER - This is really getting crazy here.) The hundreds of Mexicans and the two American agents Terry and Zapata were murdered by Operation Fast and Furious in order to advance and increase the power of the Obama regime. These SEALS and the others on board that Chinook today were almost certainly betrayed and murdered by the Obama regime.

(Bullshit Flag #17: Just think it over for a second here; in order for this to have occurred as MoonBat Annie lays out, there would have to be an agent of the Obama administration located within the JSOC tactical operations center WILLING TO COMMIT HIGH TREASON and have a hotline to the Taliban located in that particular valley, so that the moment he became aware of the mission - because the Oval Office is not in on it each and every time a helo scrambles with some Special Operators on it - he's got to get on the phone to the enemy - from within a tightly controlled classified environment within a highly secured compound - and say, "OK Mohammed, the Infidels are on their way just as we planned it, so make sure you have The Device ready for their annihilation!" That right there is too impossible to pull off.)

Why did the Obama regime immediately reveal the unit identity of the SPECOPS forces involved in the first place, despite the fact that DEVGRU was highly classified? Why was the personnel composition of the Chinook released IMMEDIATELY today after the helo went down - before even family notifications could be made? WHY?

(Already went over this one - SEE: Bullshit Flag #14)

Why would you hand your enemy, Al Qaeda and the Taliban, a massive propaganda coup? WHY?

I'll tell you why. Because the Obama regime IS THE ENEMY. They are Marxist tyrants who hold the lives of Americans not just cheap, but in scathing contempt. They will say anything, they will do anything, and they will murder ANYONE in order to protect themselves and consolidate and increase their power. Please, I beg you, for the love of God and all that is good in this world, read the history of the Soviet Union. Read about Lenin and Stalin and how they murdered people without any hesitation. Read about how Hitler was constantly ordering the murder of his own officers. Read about Communist China. Read about Mao and the millions upon tens of millions of murders he ordered. Read about the killing fields of the Communist Khmer Rouge in Cambodia led by Pol Pot. PLEASE. Marxists MURDER PEOPLE. That is what they do. The Obama regime is MARXIST to the bone. If the Obama regime is not stopped, the 30 Americans murdered today in Afghanistan will be just the beginning. I promise you that.

Here, again, is the clip of Larry Grathwohl, who infiltrated the Weather Underground Marxist terrorist organization in the 1970s. The Weather Underground was founded by Obama's political godfather, communist mentor (along with Frank Marshall Davis), murderer, and ghostwriter of "Dreams From My Father", Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn. In this interview, taped in 1980 while Obama was still just an unknown undergrad foreign scholarship student at Occidental College, Grathwohl describes the leadership of the Weather Underground (which is Ayers and Dohrn) discussing what will be done with the "un-reformable, diehard capitalists" once they have overthrown the government of the United States. The answer is extermination in camps in the Southwest. (This is way out there MoonBat-ism at it's best, folks.) The estimated total that would need to be killed? 25 million, which was 10% of the population at the time. Ayers & Dohrn already have overthrown the government of the United States via their puppet protégé, Barack Obama. They have guaranteed that the economy will collapse. The only thing left for them to do is suspend the Constitution and open the camps. I'll see you there.

WHY WEREN'T OUR NAVY SEALS AND SPECIAL OPS FORCES IN THEIR NORMAL, UPGRADED ARMORED CHINOOK! WHY WERE THEY IN AN UN-ARMORED REGULAR CHINOOK

(Bullshit Flag #18: MH- series helo's aren't necessarily armored to any great extent more than conventional helos. You can up-armor certain portions of the passenger compartments and the fuel cells are self-sealing, but the engine and transmission housings have to be able to radiate that heat off, and they have enough of a hard time mitigating the heat signature never mind cladding the things in armor that will keep the heat in. This is where this MoonBat bird goes straight to Double-Extra-Stupid-Ville and does not pass "GO", does not collect $200.)

The fact of the matter is that the Chinook crash is what it looks like right on the surface - there are simply too many good, honorable men and women in the chain for a convoluted conspiracy like this to even exist, never mind to keep it secret after the fact. The fact that she has no credible sources should alert everyone's BS meter. These SEALs were on QRF duty when the call came out to go to the sound of the guns, and they flew out on the first thing smoking. The Taliban had set up a helo ambush - hello? War against the Soviets, anyone? WE taught them this tactic, from our experience against the Communists in Vietnam who taught it to us. It is a tragedy of national proportions, and to be sounding off this kind of alarmist bullcrap over the bodies of dead American heroes is disgraceful, dishonorable and is a shameful thing to do to the families and fellow warriors of those who perished in the Chinook crash.

"That's my story and I'm sticking to it."

MEDIATIONS ON THE CHINOOK CRASH

Ten years on and the people of America and her Allies simply cannot get their heads around what this war is about . . . its not about taking real estate, and even when we do take real estate is not secure . . . the enemy has no capital city, no flag, no uniform . . . there are no air clashes between mighty carrier armadas . . . no carpet bombing of cities, no tank columns battling it out on dusty plains . . . combat is largely symbolic; it's really a conflict between ideologies. Theirs embraces suicide, suffering and denial now as a ticket to Paradise, ours is the promise of freedom and a good life which the enemy somehow twists and perverts in the minds of their brainwashed followers.

How do you prevail over an enemy that numbers in the millions, most of them illiterate or if they can read they've only read one book in their entire lives and their frothing-at-the-mouth mad mullahs tell them what it means: that they should be more than willing to sacrifice their miserable lives to kill the Infidel? We slay a thousand, ten thousand of theirs and it doesn't matter - they all went to Paradise and who would miss them anyway? They're all loincloth-wearing mud hut dwellers with nothing better to do and all day to do it. They kill ten, twenty or thirty of ours and it's a major coup so body count math simply does not work. Symbolic victories is what it's all about, that and the hearts and minds of our home populations.



























 This war could conceivably go on forever; at the very least until the Second Coming, and we could conduct it a lot more cost-effectively than how we are currently going about it.

One way is to say to Hell with Nation-building - haven't we done enough for these people? First of all we liberated them, then we put up with the bombs and bullets of the insurgents they support, we shed the precious blood of thousands of our best & brightest. We can't simply pull out because that's handing victory over to the savages who ran Afghanistan into the Stone Age - not that it was very much out of the Stone Age in the first place - but the current status quo is simply unsustainable. Besides if they get those natural gas and oil pipelines run from the 'Stans down to the Indian Ocean ports, they'll finally have some kind of worth to their land which is otherwise a inhospitable pile of rocks, only good for growing opium and xenophobic zealotry.

The concept would be to maintain some fortresses over there, manned by Special Operations Forces and defended by private military companies. Let these people decide what they want to do with their cities and real estate - the whole place is incurably tribal anyway - while we maintain a permanent state of siege from within our firebases, resupplied by helicopters and Ospreys, straining the enemy's resources while we come and go at will on operations to punch him in the nose and kick him in the ass.






At a recent dinner table conversation in DC, one distinguished dinner guest suggested America needs some kind of mercenary force to conduct these kind of operations. I disagreed; we are not France and a Foreign Legion is not in keeping with our Constitution. There is no shortage of brave individuals willing to come forward to serve their country, and if the Mainstream Media wasn't so adamantly hellbent on surrender at any cost, there'd be a whole helluva lot more.

A reader wrote about Aaron Vaughn and those guys, commented that they're his age, how it's sobering to think about the time and effort that goes into building a spec ops guy like a SEAL (on both sides, trainer and trainee) . And these guys had families, kids to boot.

I was once their age and I went downrange dressed to kill and I had a family at the time (still do of course), my kids were young when I was going in and out of the Bad Countries . . .

When I went through the Special Forces Q Course it was between six to eighteen months long (depending what MOS you went for). On top of that you had to already be a sergeant in the Regular Army - I had five years under my belt as a grunt in the 82d Airborne by the time I went into the Q Course - so you could say it averaged four to five years to make a Green Beret; about the same to make a SEAL.

I read something somewhere that it takes ten years to fully train a Special Operations soldier in anyone's army; when you consider training and schools intersected with operational time I'd say that's about right. To me a fully trained professional should have a specialty insertion technique (scuba or halo), have at least three MOS's (one in their regular forces and two Special Forces), speak at least one foreign language (I have French, Thai and Spanish), graduate advanced Special Operations training courses (combat pistol marksmanship, CQB, breaching and advanced demolitions, tradecraft, technical surveillance, etc), and have some useful civilian credentials as well such as locksmithing, mechanic, etc.

These guys were the highest of their profession, and when you crunch the numbers it is easy to say they are less than 1% of 1% of all the military - the true elite.






Others will step forward to fill their shoes, and the Big Wheel Keeps on Turning.

It was just announced: the Special Operations Warrior Foundation will offer full college scholarships to the children of all of the U. S. military personnel who perished in the recent CH-47 helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

For the past 31 years, the SOWF has supported the families of fallen Special Operations members by providing college educations to their surviving children. Today, the foundation’s board of directors has decided to provide its services to the families of all U. S. troops aboard the helicopter that was downed on Aug. 6.
"This was a tragic day for our military and their families. While the majority of the military personnel onboard the CH-47 were special operators, and they are automatically covered by the foundation, we wanted to offer our services to all who were on that fateful mission,” said retired Air Force Col. John T. Carney, Jr., SOWF President. "The least we can do for the grieving families is to honor the sacrifices of their loved ones and to offer a college education to the surviving children.”

We know now that the Chinook was a regular CH-47, not an MH- series Special Operations bird - I mistakenly posted that it was an MH-47 on the assumption that an outfit like SEAL Team 6 gets around in MH- series birds (the whole time I was in Special Forces I can count the times we flew regular birds on the fingers of one hand, and I was in SF for 20 years.) Suffice to say something went terribly wrong - they were possibly flying in on their contingency plan means of infil - in any case it is an act of class for the SOWF to include the non-Spec Ops personnel in their generous charity; they died on a Spec Ops mission, as far as I'm concerned they're Spec Ops now, they earned it the hard way.

"HE WAS A WARRIOR FOR CHRIST AND HE WAS A WARRIOR FOR OUR COUNTRY . . ."

Aaron Vaughn is one of the Navy SEALs who died in the Chinook helo ambush.













The widow of Navy SEAL Aaron Vaughn told CNN:"I want to tell the world that he was an amazing man, that he was a wonderful husband, and a fabulous father to two wonderful children. He was a warrior for Christ and he was a warrior for our country and he wouldn't want to leave this Earth any other way than how he did . . ."

American Morning let Kimberly Vaughn’s offensive reference to Christ in a tribute to her husband get by their censors once before political correctness took hold to cut it a mere five minutes later. In a moment reminiscent of NBC’s “regrettable” omission of “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance during it coverage of the U.S. Open two months ago, CNN cut “warrior for Christ” from Kimberly Vaughn’s tribute to her hero husband (one of twenty-two Navy SEALS and eight other servicemen killed in the Chinook helicopter during a mission in Afghanistan).


PERSONAL STORIES OF THE FALLEN FIGHTERS

They came from far-flung corners of the country - some of them motivated by the 9/11 attacks that bin Laden masterminded.

They were intensely patriotic and talented young men with a love of physical challenges and a passion for the high-risk job they chose.

Brian Bill, for example, had seemingly boundless ambitions, according to those who knew him as a high school student-athlete in Stamford, Conn.A skier, mountaineer, pilot and triathlete, he hoped to complete graduate school after his military service and then become an astronaut."He loved life; he loved a challenge; and he was passionate about being a SEAL," his family said in a statement Monday.

Aaron Vaughn, a 30-year-old father of two from Virginia Beach, Va., met his wife, Kimberly, when she was a Washington Redskins cheerleader on a USO tour in Guam. Vaughn had aspired to a military career since childhood and told his parents after 9/11 that he wanted to become a SEAL."He felt, and so did the other members of his team, that the very existence of our republic is at stake," his father, Billy Vaughn, told NBC's "Today.""Because of that, Aaron was willing to give his life."

Jason Workman, 32, of Blanding, Utah, also cited 9/11 as his motive for aspiring to join the special forces, childhood friend Tate Bennett told The Deseret News. He completed his Mormon mission to Brazil and Philadelphia, attended college, then joined the Navy with the specific goal of becoming a SEAL."Not making it just wasn't an option," Bennett said of his friend, who leaves behind a wife and 21-month-old son.

Workman, Vaughn, Bill and 19 other SEALS were among 30 Americans and eight Afghans killed Saturday when a rocket-propelled grenade fired by a Taliban insurgent downed their Chinook helicopter en route to a combat mission. All but two of the SEALs were from SEAL Team 6, the unit that killed bin Laden, although military officials said none of the crash victims was on that mission in Pakistan against the al-Qaida leader.

The crash was a somber counterpoint to the national jubilation that greeted news of bin Laden's death. Yet families and friends of the SEALs killed aboard the Chinook spoke of the dedication and tight-knit camaraderie that tided them through all sorts of ups and downs.

31 U.S. troops, 7 Afghans killed as insurgents down NATO chopper

KABUL, Afghanistan— ⁠Thirty-one American troops and seven Afghans died in the overnight downing of a U.S. helicopter, President Hamid Karzai's office said Saturday. The Taliban claimed to have shot down the craft.

The deaths represent the largest loss of military lives in a single incident in the course of the nearly 10-year-old war, and are a blow to Western efforts as the United States and its allies begin drawing down forces in Afghanistan in hopes of ending their combat role in the next three years.

NATO's International Security Assistance Force, or ISAF, confirmed in a terse statement that a helicopter crash had occurred and acknowledged insurgent activity in the area at the time. A Western military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the twin-rotor Chinook helicopter had apparently been brought down by a rocket-propelled grenade.

Karzai's statement identified the slain Americans as special operations forces. Sensitive to operational secrecy, special forces commanders as a rule are slower than other branches to publicly acknowledge combat casualties, which would account for the military's near-silence on the incident more than 12 hours after it occurred.

The helicopter went down after midnight in the Sayedabad district of Wardak province, west of the capital, Kabul, according to Shahidullah Shahid, a spokesman for the provincial governor. He and other provincial officials said the crash followed a firefight that left eight insurgents dead.

DEV GRU K9 DETACHMENT

These photographs were just released by U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) SEAL Team Six K9 Detachment operators that took part in the recent mission into Pakistan:


































Got this from a friend who got it from a friend. Consider it a different way of looking at things. Maybe, just maybe, Leon Panetta has the right idea in telling everyone to be quiet about the raid into Pakistan, too many details are getting out.

Everyone is just praising the SEALs on a fantastically performed, highly precision mission . . . I mean all the professional civilians are all gaga about it.

This is from a friend in DELTA:

"Anytime you can put 22 highly trained, equipped and supported operators up against two armed adversaries, kill a total of three males and one female (OOOPS!) have a forty minute fire-fight in clearing a three story building, end up shooting the unarmed HVT* and fail to completely destroy an important piece of highly classified US technology and additionally fail to exfil with important people of interest that would have been able to provide important Intelligence . . . you KNOW you have a SEAL Operation!"

* HVT - High Value Target



HOO-AH Git Some SEALs ! ! !

SEALs

My good buddy Mark the Feral Ferret - Charter Member of Team STORMBRINGER - sent in THIS:


Subject: Seal team 6

Hey STORMBRINGER

Want to see what Seal Team Six looks like in their business suits?

I wish we could have seen the expression on UBL's face when he saw these guys coming through the door!


I busted him out because these guys are clearly displaying SEAL Team EIGHT insignia. - S.L.



















Anybody else spot any discrepancies?

THE RAID - More Concepts

"The US Navy SEAL team which executed the raid on Osama bin Laden was handpicked by Barack Obama."


This gem surfaced early on in the Whitehouse disinformation campaign surrounding The Raid, and I threw out the fifteen-yard bullshit flag on this one right away.






Fact of the matter is Obama spent more time planning his Final Four picks than he did on ANYTHING remotely associated with military operations - the single subject area he is uniquely UN-qualified to say a word about, much less even pretend to know doodley-squat, even less so than free-market economics.


If you want to know the real reason SEAL Team Six got the mission was this thing had become practically a red-cycle tasking within JSOC. They've had a team on standby for the OBL hit for a decade now, and the SEALs lucked out - in that they were on stand down while everyone else was out kicking ass and taking names when word came down the pike that we actually had a fix on HVT bin Laden and The Company was requesting JSOC to go in and do the hit.






So the SEALs were the assault element and they're such publicity hogs they made sure word got out and they got all the credit - dollars to doughnuts if it was Delta the press would still be hypothesizing who did it - the CAG has a Code of Silence that even La Cosa Nostra envies. Remember a little operation involving PW Jessica Lynch?


While we're on the subject, my buddy Skullhead - of the Apache - is having a problem with the choice of codename for bin Laden, and as an honorary member of the Lakota, I must admit that I see it his way.

Skullhead writes:

i am seeing a mix reaction on the name the target was given, some native americans find it offensive. i can see the choice they made being the fact that Geronimo was hunted for many years in unfriendly terrian. he live in the back country and surived off the land. the target in this case was hunted and did the text book thing hide in plan sight. its the long hunt that would inspire the name and the enviroment. the real deal never lived better than his people, the target was living better than most of his followers. any way they could have used a better name like AID (another idiot down)

THE RAID

Up until this point in time, if you said'The Raid' within the SF community, you were referring to the Son Tay Raid. As of last Sunday evening, that has been changed forever. And as secretive and shrouded in mystery as Son Tay was, this latest thing generates more questions and quizzical aspects with each and every pronouncement of Team Obama.

OK now that the dust has settled lets go over some of the details that the Left-Leaning Mainstream Media (LLMM) invariably get wrong due to their wholesale lack of military experience - while posturing themselves as Subject Matter Experts on everything Spec Ops - combined with their slobbering love affair with the current occupier of the Whitehouse.


o Did the Presidents' team actually watch the operation unfold in real-time on the screen in the situation room?






This photo suggests they did, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's comment that it was "the most intense 38 minutes of her life" contributes to this aspect of The Raid. But on Wednesday CIA Director Leon Panetta stated that the screen went black for 25 minutes right in the middle of the operation.






o Was Hillary reacting in shock and awe at the killing of Osama bin Laden, or is she covering a cough - as she claimed - or is she overwhelmed by the beauty of it all when they switched over to a Royal Wedding rerun during those 25 minutes of blackness? You decide.


o Is Osama bin Laden REALLY dead? Where's the photo? "No body, no crime." The death of Adolf Hitler was also announced on 1 May, and yet everyone knows Hitler is still alive in Argentina - for you non-Truthyers here's video proof:

THE JOKES HAVE STARTED

A MAN WALKS INTO A BAR AND ORDERS A BIN LADEN . . .

Bartender asks, "what’s a Bin Laden?"

Man says, "2 shots with a splash of water."


- from Theo's worthy site Last of the Few








Q: How come they used Seal Team Six instead of Delta to conduct the OBL raid into Pakistan?

A: Simple. They wanted to make sure he wasn't captured alive.


(Credit for that one goes to Team STORMBRINGER charter member VA Shepherd)


Rumor is Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, and Bill Daley were the driving forces for the raid; Obama was against. Reports are that Obama "had to sleep on it" before making the call. Sleep on what???






The leak of above less than 72 hours after the raid was executed points to a high level of frustration within the Obama Administration and the National Intelligence community. Was Obama's hand in fact forced?

Obama is getting kudos for ordering a raid vs. a bombing that would have obliterated everything. The intel haul was the real coup; did this even occur to the community-organizer-in-chief beforehand???

Announcement of the raid was made in the middle of Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" show . . . a mere coincidence I'm sure . . . no way Obama would use this for political gain! The best thing a Tea Party Merry Prankster team could pull off right now would be to unveil a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner at Obama's (already scheduled) Ground Zero appearance . . .

. . . not that there's anything wrong with that . . .


The following observations from SKULLHEAD - ex-Delta operator and Knight Chevalier of Team STORMBRINGER Sanctum Sanctorium:


This was a great op for the group (JSOC) and looks like it went of with out a hitch. Yes Seal Team 6 got the poster picture for it, however I do know that the ODD ( Operational Detachment - D a.k.a. Delta Force ) was present and most likely it split the count, enough to put the group on solid ground and timing.

I told you he was in Pakistan and living high on the hog. We also knew they were helping him; that is how they are and will always be. We should have severed ties and destroyed their nuke program a long time ago. I also believe the op was already moving and the President was told to sit and wait because it was going to happen whether he liked or not; that big a HVT (High Value Target) was not getting away.

A classic tactic for tracking an urban target: put them on the run and wait for them to hole up, let them get confortable and study their habits, then you get to remove them from the earth at a time & place of your choosing. Same thing happened to Pablo (Escobar); smells of ODD all over this - we know the true story will come out when the current regime is no longer going to be embarrassed, plus we don't exist therefore we were not there just Seal Team 6 and the CIA.

Funny how things have to be laid out for people in the news and we all know they are full of sh*t as well as the current occupiers of the Whitehouse - how long do you think it will be before this guy blows the ODD apart and screws that up? Credit should be given to the boys on the ground - they did the job. I remember a couple of over the rail disposals they did for us way back when, they should advertise free funerals at sea for terrorists, we will even pick up - no reservations needed. You get a free bath so you're fresh as a daisy for the virgins.

They will come at us again . . .

THE BIN LADEN HIT

At this time hundreds of thousands of U.S. and allied military men and women are giving thanks they have lived to see this day. The death of Osama bin Laden at the hands of our courageous fighting men adds meaning to the sacrifice of so many on dusty, distant battlefields, at military outposts, depots and staging areas far from home, and on the home front of what has become a long, drawn out war.

In time we will learn the details of what was obviously a classic raid. At this time anything said or written claiming detailed knowledge of the operation that terminated the world's most wanted terrorist is pure conjecture. We don't even know for sure who pulled off this operation - SEAL Team Six got the credit, but as a part of JSOC - the shadowy Joint Special Operations Command - it is inconceivable they did it alone. The support apparatus for such a complex mission is huge; special operations aviation assets are not organic to SEAL units, for example. Doctrinally, the 75th Ranger Regiment would provide outer perimeter security; communications, tac-air support, reconnaissance and sniper overwatch could be provided by a host of JSOC assets.






To discuss the planning involved would fill a field manual; basically two types of planning occurred from the moment bin Laden's presence in the compound was suspected and confirmed, and warning orders issued to the assault force; deliberate and contingency. Deliberate planning is the long term, carefully detailed plan that we assume was carried out. Contingency planning is the stand-by plan in case conditions at the objective - in this case the Osama compound - suddenly altered; preparations for movement, or the arrival of significant enemy forces into the battlespace.

In creating a plan, the one-thirds/two-thirds rule is employed; one third of time and assets are dedicated to actual actions on the objective - two-thirds to planning, rehearsals, getting in and getting out - infil and exfil - the most difficult and resource-intensive aspect of any mission. Critical decision points include contingency plans for if helicopters go down; how many birds can be lost before the mission is no longer 'do-able'? The mission to rescue the American embassy personnel in the Iran Hostage Crisis of 1979 was aborted at Desert One because mission abort criteria had been met. Point of No Return takes into consideration how far from the objective can a team still carry on their mission - on foot - if a bird goes down enroute?

Other significant considerations involve the presence of non-combatants on the objective, - or encountered enroute to the objective - and an altered Rules of Engagement regarding the High Value Target (HVT); i.e. Osama bin Laden. This was obviously a take-no-prisoners mission, but considerations would also have been made for any enemies who survived the initial assault.

The way the rules work is as long as you're assaulting across the objective - from the Line of Departure to the Limit of Advance - anyone and anything identified as an enemy combatant within the kill zone can be engaged - i.e. shot and killed. It's when you go back to with the prisoner search teams that individual shots to the head are frowned upon. If Osama had thrown up his hands in the right time, place and manner, it is possible that he might have been taken alive.

Possible, but not probable.






There's something very primitive about a raid. Speed, surprise, and violence of action epitomize a successful raid. The assault would have been heralded by a massive breaching charge. Tac air may have been used as a diversion; a two-hundred pound Mk 82 general purpose aviation bomb goes off on the far side of the compound "HOLY SHI'ITE MUSLIM, WHAT WAS THAT?" - and then WHAM! and the assaulters are suddenly pouring in through the front door, moving at a careful hurry to their points of domination and performing their priorities of work; secure the room, eliminate threats - two rounds center mass each, and one to the head - secure the living, search the dead.


"War is simple, direct and ruthless." - George S. Patton







Who can possibly know what was going through the mind of the man who pulled the trigger on bin Laden? Only that man will ever know exactly what he felt the moment he realized he had his muzzle on the world's most evil human alive. Osama took two rounds to the pumpkin, which tells us combat occured at pointblank range. One thing I guarantee our man was thinking on the way in was the only way out of that place was to fight his way through it. Then adrenalin kicked in and took care of everything else after that. His comrades, the same.


AFTERMATH

Now the endless analysis from the press corps; how we could've, should've, would've done this, that and the other thing. Right now it's my dime so I'll indulge a little here and tell you what we should've done that we didn't do:

We should've put Osama's body on display, just like we did with Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi - a.k.a. the Zarkman - dead leader of Al-Qaeda In Iraq, and with those two pieces of human scum Uday and Qusay Hussein. The war we are engaged in involves heavy symbolism, and significant value is gained by dehumanizing the enemy, cutting the enemy's leadership down to size. This is why we televised Saddam Hussein's medical exam, and released pictures of the Butcher of Baghdad in his underwear; this busts the legend down to size. The best thing we could have done for the Iraqi people's liberation was hand Saddam over - which we did - and the best thing after that is they released pictures of him swinging on a rope.

The next thing we need to do after showing the pictures is to follow up on the actionable intelligence gained in the raid, and start rolling up terrorist cells one by one. We need to stack up terrorist bodies like cordwood, and those who have the bad luck to get captured alive we need to salt away in Guantanamo for the rest of their miserable lives. The message needs to get out on the Arab Street: there ain't no death and glory in Jihad. Only death.





MESSAGE TO JIHADIS:

Your glorious leader is now fish food, at the bottom of the deep blue sea.

Your Allah may forgive Osama bin Laden; everybody knows it was United States Special Operations who arranged the meeting.
