AHEM
I
was running about this morning, making the rounds of various duty
and
doody stations while somewhat listening to WCBM in the
background. On air was a
father of one of the Seal Team 6 members killed in the the
Chinook helicopter crash. This is not a transcript, but excerpts
from other sources that include some of what he claimed. Stuff I
wasn't aware of.

[...] Shortly before the
CH-47 Chinook helicopter took off on a rescue mission (operation
Extortion 17), seven Afghan commandos who were on the passenger list
were replaced by other Afghan military officials.
It remains unclear why the manifest was incorrect, raising red flags
among the victims’ families. They have noted that their sons didn’t trust Afghan soldiers. One
was quoted as saying, “They are loyal to the highest bidder.”
In the transcript related to the Pentagon’s probe, a Defense official
confirmed that all seven names of the Afghan soldiers were incorrect.
The official said, “I cannot talk to the back story of why…” before
being interrupted by another Department of Defense employee.
The Chinook was shot down by Afghan militants, and all 38 on board
perished. Among the dead were 30 Americans, including 22 Navy
SEALS (some Seal Tem Six),
seven Afghan soldiers and one Afghan translator. Their bodies were
later recovered, but the helicopter’s black box was not. Pentagon
officials have said that it could not be recovered, citing a flash flood that happened
soon after the assault.
All the bodies were cremated. The
Pentagon has defended the cremation to the soldiers’ families, saying
the bodies were badly burned.
Chaffetz, however, said he has seen a photo of a deceased SEAL that was
not.
“The body I saw didn’t need to be cremated,” Chaffetz said [full]
The
dad further alleged that his and other Seal family homes had been
"infiltrated,"
and family papers shuffled through. He feels someone was looking
for letters home that carried details of the
bin-Laden raid. In addition, this was made possible
because, in his
words, "Eric Holder and Biden allowed the names and home addresses of
Seal Team Six members to be made public."
It's impossible to confirm rumors that all but one of the Seals on the
bin-Laden mission are now dead, but it has been confirmed that some of
them were on this helicopter, and that "insurgents were boasting on the Internet
they had taken out Team 6 shortly after the helicopter crashed."
This so closely parallels the Benghazi
team cover-up that my head is spinning. There are not
isolated incidents involving this Administration, which makes this
sort of rubbish bitterly outrageous.!
