The cynical part of me says that if this had not been Seal Team 6, the MSM would not have reported it at all. But that moniker is programmed in to whatever software they use to scan the wire services.

Another part of me has other comments. Suffice to say, FUBO.

Prayers for the families.

It does seem as though they are being picked off one by one

As much as I despise Obama, I think these are accidents not murder.

They are in a dangerous profession.

Well they didn’t get em all in the chopper crash in Assaghanistan so I guess they are finishing them off one by one.

Members of Seal Team 6 are dropping like fly’s..

No doubt the sequester is to blame.

Do you think all the Clinton deaths were accidents, too?

As a member of the US military, who is on jump status currently, I can tell you that there are a couple of fatalities every year. It’s simply a risk you take. Total failures, cigar rolls, blown sections, etc. Then you factor in the human element on things such as steering into wires/trees/water, getting tangled with other jumpers, there was even a case last year of a guy dying after landing on a roof and not collapsing his chute fast enough (and then pulled off the roof).

Anytime you leave an airplane that isn’t parked on the ground, you take a risk. 99.99% of the time, nothing comes of it. But when you do have a failure, it can become very catastrophic very quickly. But there’s a reason people see me deep in prayer from the time I get on the plane to the time I’m on the ground.

Accident my ass. Obama will keep on until every last one one them is dead. He will play hell ever getting a military attachment to produce another photo op for him. They see what’s happening and they know.
