Re: the .pdf file...it doesn't matter to me. I honestly don't need any more proof of his place of birth than the birth announcement in the Hawaii newspaper fifty years ago. That the .pdf file was probably not the real thing is irrelevant to me. The birther nonsense is almost as bad as the truther crap. Using birtherism as the foundation for yet another conspiracy theory is, to me, just plain nuts.
Re: SEAL Team Six...it's too early and there isn't enough reliable information to say anything about this matter. The stuff flying around right now is no more reliable than what was being said in the aftermath of the OBL raid. Let the dust settle and wait to see what comes out. There are all kinds of military blogs that will undoubtedly be a better source of info than the MFM.
I know next to nothing about Navy SEALs. As do most people not directly involved in the program regardless of what they say. I have a friend with a son who is a SEAL. He knows almost nothing about what his son does and where he does it. He doesn't even know what theater of operations he is in let alone what country he is in. And when his son is home on leave he doesn't say anything about the missions he has been on. Zero. Nothing.
That said, common sense leads me to believe that there are significantly more than twenty or thirty men who make up any individual SEAL team. The requirements of troop rotation would be one reason. Also there is the idea that each member (although multi-disciplined) has a specialty and that would mean a large number needed to make up a proper force. Plus the need to have members available to replace those lost to sickness, injury or death. We have no idea at all who the individual members were who were on the OBL raid and we don't know if they were on this helicopter flight. We don't even know if they were Navy SEALs. Really, we don't know*.
Wait for the info to come out. We are not in a good position to discuss the blame for this horrible loss of life at this time.
So, that said, at this time I am much more inclined to chalk it up to the "fog of war" than some all encompassing conspiracy that winds its way all the way up the chain of command to the CIC. BO is a a total puke but I'm not willing to assign him the responsibility for a murder conspiracy of any kind without way more to go on than this nonsense.
*And there is an extremely high likelihood that
the New Yorker article that gave out all kinds of operational details (including, inexplicably, names) about the OBL raid was a total fake.
