The loss of members of SEAL Team 6 is a tragedy, but it is no more a tragedy than the loss of any other soldier.  It is a shame that we announced that the people on the helicopter were from SEAL Team 6; that is information that encourages the Taliban.  However, there are some other aspects of this crash that need to be looked at.

Steven Hayward at Power Line posted a short article yesterday about the crash.  These are his comments on the crash and the fact that SEAL team 6 was on the helicopter:

“…it seems doubtful this is a coincidence.  I hope a congressional committee will not accept the State Department and Pentagon line on what happened, and inquires whether Bin Laden sympathizers in Pakistan’s ISI, or inside the Afghan government, played some role in targeting and bringing down this crew.”

 

It’s time to take a really good look at who we are working with and how much we let them know about exactly what our forces are doing.

Meanwhile, please pray for the families involved.
