They have plotted deadly missions from secret bases in the badlands of Somalia. In Afghanistan, they have engaged in combat so intimate that they have emerged soaked in blood that was not their own. On clandestine raids in the dead of the night, their weapons of choice have ranged from customized carbines to primeval tomahawks.
Around the world, they have run spying stations disguised as commercial boats, posed as civilian employees of front companies and operated undercover at embassies as male-female pairs, tracking those the United States wants to kill or capture.
Those operations are part of the hidden history of the Navy’s SEAL Team 6, one of the nation’s most mythologized, most secretive and least scrutinized military organizations. Once a small group reserved for specialized but rare missions, the unit best known for killing Osama bin Laden has been transformed by more than a decade of combat into a global manhunting machine.
That role reflects America’s new way of war, in which conflict is distinguished not by battlefield wins and losses, but by the relentless killing of suspected militants. . .

Thanks NYT for outing Seal Team 6.
Undermining national security is our trademark.
Some hack trying to get his name noticed
And no declaration of war or Geneva Convention. Just a compiled hit list, hm? Am I next? Do I have a choice?
The are “shrouded in secrecy” unless Biden wants to blurt out what they did at a dinner event.
“Some hack trying to get his name noticed”
Actually, SIX hacks trying to get noticed...and they WOULD print swill like this on the anniversary of D-Day, the Communist pigs!
Of course they are..this is being a patriot to them.
I don’t want to know how SEAL Team 6 does it.
I just want them to do it well, and with extreme prejudice.
The US owes a deep debt of thanks to Dick Marcinko.
Democrats feed the New York Times all their stories...
Precisely.
Interesting that there are none of the usual NYT “Blame Bush” references, perhaps because Zero used them more?
LMAO. The NYT just indicted Obama as a war criminal.
Oh yeah, and FU NYT!
That role reflects America’s new way of war, in which conflict is distinguished not by battlefield wins and losses, but by the relentless killing of suspected militants........................ So? Do we think that anyone from the NYT will be found on a battlefield in a combat uniform? I doubt it, nor would I expect to see any of their children, if they had any.
That depends. Are you a terrorist?
Nope, but who defines what a terrorist is these days? or puts out a contract with no trial?
Can think of some essential missions they should run inside the DC beltway...Probably a 2-to-3 year job...
Thanks for that. I saved it.
These Seal teams go after targets with the intention of carrying out their mission within defined parameters. The easy—and traditional— way to eliminate high value targets taking cover in civilian areas is to simply bomb the whole area, accepting the fact that non-combatants will be killed.
Which do we want. Small units with defined missions that carry the risk of killing a few non-combatants or indiscriminate bombing which is guaranteed to kill non-combatants?
These brave men risk their lives on dangerous up-close missions so that our country does not have to resort to high civilian casualties. This is the epitome of bravery in the era of asynchronous warfare and reflects the best of American values-—punish the evildoers who prey on innocents.
