I can't help but keep thinking: "Now this is just wrong."

I bet the remaining members of the team will be watching their backs now.

Glad you posted this story - military folks involved with special ops know the costs; and the alternatives don't exist - who you going to report to? The associated press news release is on my other blog annmariewhaley.com.

Maybe I've been here too long, but I'd bet "dollars to donuts" that the second article is a lie. Think about it...really...what are the odds that THIRTY members of Team 6 were on that chopper, and not ONE of them was part of that Osama bin Laden mission??? Riiiiiiiight.

Its amazing how a simple thing like revenge involves the death of so many innocent people for the greater good. Or even the less innocent but still undeserving. I suppose I'm not the best judge though I'm kind of biased against murder.

Also consider that true or untrue, those people died because we put them there. Just like the people they were killing died because we put them there. And the people that will likely be left behind and angry will kill because... well you get the picture. We who are so wise, we who are so honorable... we hide and we kill. We do torture and destroy countries, lives, and families. We violate so so many others. All in the name of greed and anger. I say we because until this country comes together to stop putting power into those who continue this cycle we are guilty.

A member of the Navy SEAL unit made famous for killing Osama bin Laden in May 2011 was killed over the weekend in a rescue mission in Afghanistan. Petty Officer First Class Nicholas D. Checque, 28, of Monroeville, Pa., was killed while rescuing an American doctor who had been kidnapped by the Taliban. Dr. Dilip Joseph was kidnapped Dec. 5 while returning from a visit to a medical clinic in Afghanistan's Kabul Province. In a statement, President Obama said, "[Checque] gave his life for his fellow Americans … selfless service that allows our nation to stay strong, safe and free." [Source]

A Navy SEAL from the elite SEAL TEAM 6 was killed and another SEAL injured Thursday night during a parachute training accident in Marana, Arizona, the military said. Details of the accident are not immediately available.

One SEAL was pronounced dead on arrival at the University of Arizona Hospital. The second remains hospitalized in stable condition.

Members of SEAL TEAM 6 carried out the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. All SEAL teams receive extensive parachute training, which is often required for hostage rescue or anti-terrorist operations.
