One dead, one injured? Midair collision, perhaps?

RIP SEAL!

I think a lot of Clinton’s deaths were very suspicious and I would not be surprised at anything he would do including murder, treason, etc. I think Obama is if anything even worse than Clinton but I don’t think he is nearly as smart.

Some of this takes a very shrewd character to pull off although now that I think of it, Obama doesn’t really have to be smart. The media will cover for him no matter what.

SEALs live a more daring and dangerous life than most of us, and as a result their chances of being killed jumping out of an airplane or on a mission is much greater than those who sit in front of a computer all day or stay on the airplane until the plane gets to the gate.

I doubt Obama acts alone. I don’t think the Clintons acted alone, either. But I agree - Obama is an idiot.

Nah, I’m just an intel dude. But I’m lucky enough to support other cool people, so I end up getting a lot of cool training myself.

Needless to say, I love my job.

then you are not informed - do some research of the set up of all the seals on that helicopter in the ‘ghan - on a helicopter the Seals DO NOT fly in - that was flown straight up and parallel with the ledge were the bad buys had a straight shot to take ‘em down.

and what had happened to those 30+ survivors of Benghazi? (You know, the ones bumbleberry left to be slaughterd - which they would have been - dead men don't talk) Not even members of congress are allowed access to them - even as to who they were or where they are.

It's dangerous to know anything in bumleberry’s world.

Keep up the good work.

Old KC-135 and C-130 navigator myself. Never could understand you guys jumping out of the plane. Great respect.

Whereas being a conspiracy kook in the conservative echo chamber that is FR has become risk free.

I’ll take skydiving over staying on a plane, ANY DAY.

Right back at ya, bro. There are a lot of things I worry about before each jump, but none of them have ever had to do with the aircraft. Every time I leave a plane I know without a shadow of a doubt that I will get a green light at the exact right time, when the plane is where it’s supposed to be, and at the speed and height where it should be. When I get done thanking Jesus on the ground, my next batch of thanks always goes to you aircrews dudes and the parachute riggers.

I think these are accidents not murder.

*********

I think these are directed hits and I pray some SEALS are guarding the survivor in the hospital.

Direct hits? Really? Who’s ordering and who’s carrying them out?

Likely was collision during night free fall exercise....

For SEALS even training is dangerous (use live ammo!)

That’s the $64,000 question but I’ll bet it’s someone who has power and something to hide....Now who could benefit from SEAL Team 6 being eradicated? Kim Jung-un isn’t my first guess. What’s your opinion?

Thanks guys, for the stuff you do.

These SEALS live in some pretty rarified air and they do stuff in training that has a better than average chance of killing most people. Sometimes, it kills them too. If training weren’t dangerous... It ain’t training.

You have had more better and consistent experiences with Air Force pilots than some of us.
