This story doesn’t make sense to me.
The boat the SEALs took out was just manned by two SEALs?
One story said they boarded the dhow and detained 12 men.
It also said they sank the dhow.

As a merchant mariner and rescue diver I am not really buying this.

A "swell" took out a USN SEAL as he was attempting to board a boat?

...And two lives, the lives of two capital swimmers and operators, were lost on the surface?

And there's a mind-bogglingly massive search radius on what MUST have been a pinpoint target?

I hear Carter: "There is a deeper failure than incomplete success..."

...And I am not buying it.

I know that I’m going to take heat for my comment, but it requires suspension of disbelief to accept that 2 SEALS ‘drowned’ due to a ‘swell’.

Either this is a lie, or this is evidence that SOCOM has dumbed down their SEAL training to the point of endangering operators in the field.

More likely that Puppet Biden had them shot because they were MAGA voters.

Now Lloyd “Idi Amin” Austin can bring in the trannies to do the work real men refuse to do. /spit

The government story is crap. First, the odds of two Seals dying that way is astronomically small. Second, they would very likely had IR strobes on their gear making it quite easy to find them.

What I think is the real story. They were on a mission in Yemen. Killed, captured or MIA. So they made up the phony story.
