  1. Deeply disturbed at the release of this information. They’re SEAL’s, they know their deaths will (should) be anonymous for a period of decades, when they sign up. You just don’t do this. You don’t release operational info, or more importantly personal identifying info… Names. It puts their families at risk of reprisal.

    FJB.

  2. KRIT is right. Some things are better left unsaid. Just ask SEAL Team 6.

    If you ask me, they shouldn’t have even reported those two SEALs as MIA, presumed dead, lost at sea. Don’t give your enemy anything you don’t have to.

    The best one could hope for is that these two are on some clandestine mission, and all of this Navy blurting is misdirection, but the worst explanation is that the boarding of the “stateless dhow” was a total cock-up, and the boarding team couldn’t even recover the bodies of their comrades before retreating. Although the boat could have been blown to smithereens with the two SEALS on board, and there was nothing left to recover.

    Any way you look at it, silence is golden.

  3. A misguided use of SOG personnel, leading to a failed Operation and death of two elite USN Seal Warriors.
    The ship was not boarded, yet it was destroyed, presumably by other means. So why were the Two elite warriors deployed?
    I agree the names or Units should not be reported, but that seems to be the standard operation of the Biden/Obama Administration.
    (reference 2011, Obama ‘Put a Target on Their Backs’. 17 USN Seals died, in all 38 troops died after the helicopter was shot down by a Taliban RPG over Wardak Province, Afghanistan, on Aug. 6, 2011.
