None of the 22 SEAL personnel killed in the crash were part of the team that killed bin Laden in a May raid in Pakistan, but they belonged to the same unit. Their deployment in the raid in which the helicopter crashed would suggest that the target was a high-ranking insurgent figure.

None of the SEALs that killed Bin Laden died in the crash nor were they on that helicopter. You people jump to conclusions too quick. You should take the 5 minutes to read over articles that are out there before freaking out.

Dude it wasnt the government. It was the families that leaked this. When so many fall their is no way to keep this a secret. Like I said 3 CACO calls out of Lejeune in the last 24 hours. I can say this. The Chaplain and the Chief that went on these calls walked right past me. I know for a fact that 3 of the guys were from Marsoc. 1 was a navy corpsman doing his cadre with the team. I hate that they say its a chopper crash. This was a combat action. These guys died doing what they love. I salute them all.

There was a separate incident, www.wral.com...
All three were assigned to 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion.....
Umm you just answered your own question Like i said 3 guys from MARSOC (marine special operations) were on that chopper in a training cadre. I know what im talking about. Notice there is no statement from DOD just that they were in support of a unit. Usually its the other way around. MARSOC guy do missions with seals all the time.edit on 7-8-2011 by semperkill because: grammer issues

I think we're talking about two different events here, I thought you said MARSOC guys were on the 47 crash involving the SEALs.

That was not what we were given yesterday when the many threads started, many of us went to great pains to ascertain an unambiguous story.
The BBC's ceefax page was, and still is ambiguous, while the breaking news ticker stated quite straightforwardly that "some of the dead were part of the OBL TEAM"
All the stuff about to come out on the OBL 'operation' is suggesting that it was carried out by 'Team 6' so either it was or it wasn't. Now, only today is AOL carrying the heading as you describe, and there is a need for clarification as to what the 'unit' is, as it can't be called the OBL unit but something else or nothing at all.

Earlier reports said more than 20 Navy Seals from the unit that killed Osama bin Laden were among those killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

Sky News are still refering to the original story

Yes i agree that there are secret secrets. Im not at the top of the food chain but I know enough about this stuff to put 2 and 2 together. You have to see that 3 marines (MARSOC) and an army spec ops (ODA) died in a fire along with a dog. That is crap. What happened is that the families contacted the news before the story was spun. Those marines, dog and army guy were on that chopper. Right now as we speak this is common knowledge down here. Im just upset at your post because i explained that it wasnt just SEALS on the chopper. Now im pissed because they said those guys and dog died in a fire. When a helo or humvee gets hit by an RPG and it penetrates everybody burns. It is very convenient for the news that these warrirors died in a fire at their quarters. Pure BS. and nothing else.
