The media actually clearly said none of the Seals on board the helicopter were involved in the botched "OBL" raid in Pakistan.....
if they said the opposite then would'nt it look just too way obvious?

The troops who died in the crash were from the same unit, but they were not the troops who were involved in the actual mission.
According to the CNN Breaking News alert:
It is believed that Saturday's helicopter crash in eastern Afghanistan that killed 31 Americans was downed by insurgents, a U.S. military official told CNN.
Of those killed, 22 were Navy SEALs, he said.
The SEALs belonged to the same unit that conducted a raid in May that killed Osama bin Laden, but they were not part of that operation, the official said.edit on 6-8-2011 by CLPrime because: emphasis added

most of them from the elite Navy SEALs unit that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, along with seven Afghan commandos. It was the deadliest single incident for American forces in the decade-long war.

Have any other helicopters actually been shot down in Afghanistan since the beginning of this war? I remember a couple of crashes but don't remember any others being actually shot down.

You are correct, I got all excited when I saw that it was the same SEAL team. I read the next line later, lol. Sorry about that.
Brilliant post by the way, all very true. The Afghans will never be beaten. We need to pull out.

Pulling out does these men who lost their lives no justice. They fought to bring freedom and order to Afghanistan. Shouldn't we stay there to solidify that dream in honor of them?

This is a ploy to make it look like they died.
They split the millions, change their names,
and slip into the night...

It was the same team but a different unit. The SEAL's are split into teams and further into units. SEAL team six has multiple units.
