In what an official said was the first military raid carried out under President Donald Trump, two Americans were killed in Yemen on Sunday one a member of SEAL Team 6 and the other the 8-year-old daughter of Anwar al-Awlaki, the New Mexico-born al Qaeda leader who himself was killed in a U.S. strike five years ago.
The raid in southern Yemen, conducted by the supersecret Joint Special Operations Command, was intended to capture valuable intelligence, specifically computer equipment, according to a senior U.S. military official. Three al Qaeda leaders were killed, according to U.S. officials.
An MV-22 Osprey experienced a hard landing near the site, injuring several SEALs, one severely. The tilt-rotor aircraft had to be destroyed. A SEAL was killed during the firefight on the ground, as were some noncombatants, including females.

A combination and a form indeed,
Where every god did seem to set his seal,
To give the world assurance of a man.

SEALS. My favorite passengers.
After the catapults, they would unstrap and ask for the negative-g parabola pushovers so they could float in the air. Like kids in a candy store.

Rest in Peace. Prayers for the family!

He stood up for us for a long time.
Rest in peace. We would have been less without you, if you hadn’t made us so much more with you exemplary service.

Prayers for Chief Owens, his family, and the Naval Special Warfare Community. A Pentagon source tells Fox News that this type of raid would not have been approved by the Obama Administration. The SEALs took out 14 bad hombres, and gathered a lot of valuable intelligence. Hopefully, it will be exploited quickly, and more terrorists will die.
Fair skies and following seas, Chief Owens.
