| SEAL Team 6 and what really happened on America's deadliest day in Afghanistan |
| 2017-10-26 |
| [Dallas Morning News] On a moonless night, an Army Chinook helicopter swept low over the Tangi Valley, a strip of forbidding terrain in eastern Afghanistan teeming with Taliban and located just 35 miles south of the capital, Kabul. Among the 38 occupants inside the Chinook were some of the most highly trained and battle-seasoned fighters in the U.S. military, including 15 commandos from the Navy’s SEAL Team 6, the unit that three months earlier had killed Osama bin Laden. Their target was a Taliban commander responsible for ambushes and other attacks against U.S. and Afghan forces. Missions like this one to insert or remove an assault force are the military equivalent of a perfect 10 in the Olympics -- equal parts skill, experience and daring. |

| #1 Biden explained in public that it was SEAL 6 that killed Bin Laden. Moron painted a target on their back. But heh he was part of Obama Inc. so no problem there. |
