Unreal... The Taliban is obviously claiming responsibility, they said they shot it down with a RPG.

The fact that we know (and they know) they were SEALS is wrong , only an ego booster for the enemy....

A military helicopter was shot down in eastern Afghanistan, killing 31 U.S. special operation troops, 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. How many actually participated in the bin Laden raid was not known.

Something Dose not smell right...

CH-47... should be able to take a RPG...Left over stinger SAM... maybe, but a RPG?

sure this isnt an attempt to help blend these soldiers into obscurity since the media dumbasses plastered their unit info all over the place.

[Reverend Cooper]

rpgs are designed to burn threw the hull of a tank and chopper aint shit,I am with Yoo on this.

The media should have never been told about of that mission or that he was even killed. Should have just dumped his ass overboard off a ship and not told a soul. Now they will use it as recuitment footage to swell their ranks.

so yeah I agree with Yoo and Coop.
