    It specifically says this: "We don't believe that any of the special operators who were killed were involved in the Bin Laden operation."
    SEAL Team 6 is a large group. The people who died in the crash weren't the same people who were in the bin laden raid.

    whoa, Ok I don't know how I missed that at the top of the page.
    I was watching sky news, they're saying they were the same soldiers.

    In a strange reversal of roles people were killed by a polar bear and a load of seals died in a helicopter crash.

    20 of the soldiers involved in the killing of Osama bin Laden were killed in a helicopter crash.

    In other news:

    The statue of Lincon in Washington stood up screaming "We built this city on rock and roll" before a flock of Taliban monkeys flew out or his arse. :pac:

    None of the dead were involved in the operation that killed Bin Laden.They were in the same unit is all.

    This just prove how vulnerable helicopters are to virtually all types of AA.Complete mystery to me while they were all travelling together,nearly 40 men.They should have split up into four Black Hawks.
    Keep your jokes to yourselves,those SEALs did more in one week then you could ever hope to do in your lives.

    Good point,I guess it could have performed a touch and go,but it would have been just as vulnerable on the way in/out.
