Follow up of interest. In her book she talks about the entire OBL mission being under the always - intentionally according to some - murky Title 50 under the CIA. According to her, ST6 members wore no identifying patches, etc during the op. At the UDT-SEAL Museum, there's a display dedicated to that mission, with a full outfit worn that day by one of the men. It has usual patches one would expect, US flag, etc. However, they're all attached via Velcro. None are sown on. So, did they add the identifying patches post mission? I didn't inquire with the powers that be as there are some topics you don't inquire about. I found that interesting, but I'm a mil/history/SOF nerd all around. I will inquire if/when there's a right place/time for that, but it's not something you knock on the office and ask the retired 6 guys about operating under Title 50 (and 10?) some some missions.
