Quoted: Are you kidding me.... ETA: I thought names of SEALs weren't supposed to be released.... Why not? Folks that knew SEALs before they joined don't think they are electricians mates. Now that they aredead, could it really be used for evil? |

Quoted: Are you kidding me.... ETA: I thought names of SEALs weren't supposed to be released.... They always are released, always have been. You can see the lists of everyone killed in Afghanistan at www.icasualties.org/oef This is info that the pentagon releases (in a searchable format) basically it just has the when/where/how information.

You're suggesting there shouldn't be an obituary in the local paper? Hiding the casualties of war is a good thing? |

Yeah...been on that site many times tracking old buddies sadly enough (or making sure guys I know/knew didn't pop up anyway...) For some reason I forgot they posted group names when the guys died (for SF and such...). So suppose no different. *shrug* Oh well... |

Quoted:
how many are left on seal team 6? Hundreds. DevGru is reportedly organized into 3 Assault Units- Red, Blue and Gold and a Special Boat Unit Gray. Something like 200 "operators" and 300 other personnel that conduct testing and provide support. It's all classified though so it's mostly speculation. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
