Nicolas Checque Seal team 6 dies


abcnews.go.com< br />
The Pentagon has identified Petty Officer 1st Class Nicolas Checque as the Navy SEAL who died of injuries sustained in the successful rescue of an American doctor from the Taliban over the weekend.

Checque, who hailed from Monroeville, Pa., died of "combat related injuries," according to a Pentagon release. Though the release only said Checque was assigned to "an East Coast-based Naval Special Warfare unit," ABC News previously reported the fallen servicemember was a part of the Navy's elite SEAL Team 6, the same unit that killed Osama bin Laden.

If you're talking about the team that raided the compound in Pakistan, none of them were on the helicopter that was shot down that killed so many of their team.

You are right in that the newsreader is pretty clueless. It's almost like the more clueless the better the network
likes it.

They are handed scripts written predominantly by the CIA and the State Dept. office of communications.

That is one of the hoakiest posts I've ever read on ATS and I've been what you call "a reader" for several years.

If I were on another website I might feel the urge to type, epic fail.

Saw his pic on the news tonight. A handsome young man who's story tugs at the heartstrings. He comes across as the perfect poster boy unfortunately.

I don't need to give you credibility, however if your smart you'll look up the facts...red squadron took down bin laden and the compound...they are part of nswdg.( which everyone is calling seal team 6)... Gold squadron was on the helicopter that went down. Two different teams...they replaced the guys that died on the helo with new guys from team 8' team 4 etc... from a totally different base.. Nick was a new replacement .. Gold team was the squadron doing this hostage operation on Saturday . ..look it up paperback writer..it's all there for up you to READ since you are such a reader.

To be fair, a lot of people don't get how the Teams work. I didn't for a long time, and we had one where I lived. We saw them training all the time. If you don't live, breathe, or work them, then a lot of information about them is extremely hard to find.

Although, some comments have been a little....wrong let's say.
