As much as I agree with the sentiment, the article is fake news. The shoot down of Extortion 17 didn’t involve the same unit that was on the UBL raid. While the loss of life was tragic and hits close to home personally, it was nowhere near “all of Seal Team 6.”
I lost a lot of friends that day. I’d had some of them over to the house for a BBQ and drinks not too long before this happened. While I agree with the post, it’s simply not true. Extortion 17 was an immediate reaction force enroute to help some Rangers and there is no indication the shooter knew who was on the helo at the time.
