I read yesterday on CNN that the four man SEAL team had gotten too close to OBL, that's why they were ambushed. I will admit, as soon as I heard of the SOAR bird being shot down with specops on board and a team missing, I was worried. I've worked alot with many of them, unfortunately for their families they are gone, I'm glad though that none were friends of mine that I knew. A village elder helped with the rescue of the surviving member of the team by hiding him from insurgents in his village then going to a nearby firebase(?) to get help. I guess some hearts and minds have been one, but look at the price. Sacramento lost one of it's own last year while the unit was deployed, 21years old with a young pregnant wife. Sorry, I got totally off track with this! I forgot where I was going!
