None of the SEALS that died in the downed helicopter took any part int the killing of Osama bin Laden. The SEALS just happened to be in the same group/unit.


Ah sorry, hadn't been paying too much attention to the matter.

And I would have thought these guys who killed the most infamous man of the past 10 years would at least receive better protection and appreciation from their govt and commanding officers, rather than being exposed and killed like that (wonder if they received any medals). :roll:


They move just like the rest of them.

I'm pretty sure they weren't flying round flying SEAL team colors or something. It was a unfortunate accident.

For anyone who is interested, they are showing a documentary on the Nat Geo channel of the Last Days of Osama bin Laden on the 6th of November at 9pm EST/8pm CST.

(Yes I watch a lot of Nat Geo...)

As long as there isn't an interesting football game on, I'll be watching it. :lol: I can always record it on my DVR...

It doesn't come on until November 6th. That's two Sundays from today. If you do miss it, I'll feel you in on what they were talking about.

He may have something going. We have had numerous Elvis sightings, pleny of people have spotted Tupac Shakur alive, and soon we'll probably even hear about how MJ is doing the moonwalk somewhere in Saudi Arabia.

I can honestly say that OBL may very well be alive if these guys are still around.
