Nobody cares what you think. You are here always ripping and advocating for the party of godlessness so therefore you have no life.

Did any harm come of it? Ah, the operators only had bounties put on their heads and lived under the constant stress that they or their families would be targeted for revenge. To ask, "did any harm come from it" as if to blow it off like it wasn't that serious is like oking a drunk driver to cruise the roads as long as he doesn't kill anyone. If he does, then we'll form a congressional committee to discuss if the rule should be changed or if he should be reprimanded.

You misunderstood my intent. I wasn't blowing it off as unimportant. I just couldn't remember if any of them were actually endangered because of the outing. I did not mean to come across as if it wasn't serious.

If you really need that explained to you, then you should fully understand why everyone thinks you're an idiot.

It's because, YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

You are unbelievably stupid.

He said, "seal team six, He said Navy seals, that is info, never revealed before.

Of course he didn't call anyone by name.
My God you are such an idiot.

HE NEVER REVEALED WHO THE MEMBERS OF THE SEAL TEAM WERE. KEEP YOUR ARSE AWAY FROM FOX NEWS LONG ENOUGH TO VERIFY WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.

Antithesis,, His referring to Seal Team Six a fews times is precisely the point.
Your "not true" comment is foolish and shows you don't really understand what you're talking about.

"We're very concerned that the administration had disclosed that the Navy SEALs had carried out a successful attack on bin Laden's compound resulting in his death. And you know, never before in the history of our county (had) a sitting president released that type of information to the public, especially when he was talking about special forces. Their names and their missions had never been revealed before. And we really feel that this put our guys in an unnecessary risk," Hamburge

Prove that they signed up to be stabbed in the back by politicians.

The suggestion is preposterous, as are most of dumpy's absurd posts.

Obama 'Put a Target on Their Backs', SEAL Team 6 Family Members Say

Family members question SEAL Team 6's most deadly incident.

By May 9, 2013 | 2:22 p.m. EDT + More

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.

Vice President Biden publicly identified the SEALs on May 3, 2011 two days after the raid.


This isn't true, Biden never identified anyone. He refers to the SEALS a few times, but that's all. And even if he HAD said "SEAL Team 6," that's just the code name for a group of undisclosed people.

As for the book, there's no room for an opinion about if he should or shouldn't have released the book without approval. It's not just an oath. He signed a contract with the Navy that specifically laid out guidelines for such situations.

After more thought, I agree Obama and Biden should not have been specific about which team got Bin Laden. But other than being harassed by the media, did any harm ever come to any of them or their families? Just curious. Still why take the chance.

But 2 wrongs never make a right. I don't think the Seal should have published the book without first having it vetted by the proper authorities.

Brandon Webb and the guys at SofRep have had a couple good podcasts on this subject, specifically the bin laden book. Webb, a former seal sniper, made a very interesting point in one pod cast, that the Navy Seals have become the publicity hounds of the spec warfare community. While they are getting recognition for their ops, the other branches and their spec ops divisions stay silent about their work. This has been good and bad for the navy.

Btw, the video games were done wth navy approval. They felt it would be good recruitment PR

Ok fly. State your source for the 4:34 post. What happened was, someone else in the military let it out to the press, probably for a fee, who the Team 6 members were. I guess you can take it back to Obama. He should have said one of our Navy Seal Teams instead of being specific. Guess he was nieve enough to think that other military people would have their backs and not identify them. Or, he wanted the praise to go to them specifically.

"He stated that we as in the USA got him and gave praise to Team 6. Now how did any of that compromise security?

The parents of Aaron Vaughn, a member of SEAL Team Six who was killed in Afghanistan in 2011 said that the entire team is in danger because of the Obama administration leaking the name of the unit that killed Osama bin Laden.

His mother said SEALs want to remain private.

Her son called her shortly before his death:

"Aaron called me and said, ‘Mom, you need to wipe your social media clean of any reference to me or any of my buddies. Just disconnect completely,'" Karen Vaughn said her son warned after Vice President Biden publicly identified the SEALs on May 3, 2011 — two days after the raid. "He [Aaron] actually said to me, ‘Mom, there's chatter, and all of our lives could be in danger, including yours' … then I realized all of those families, you know, you're talking about a community of around three hundred families who were all of a sudden made targets by this administration."

Aaraon's father Billy sees it as a betrayal of these selfless young men who put country before all else.

"We expect better out, out of the, the high-up's in our government. We, as American citizens, look to our government. We elect them, we look to them to take care of the best interests of the American citizen, and especially the warrior. And I believe what the administration did, then I believe it was criminal."
