Way to go guys…
For fucks sake when are we going to turn Somalia into a USN missile test range?
As usual, good on the SEALs. 
Kudos to the SEALs. :thank_you2:
Has anyone noticed that what used to be considered as “Black Ops” have received a lot more publicity over the past few years than before? I’m not sure if that is a good thing or not.
On the one hand the “Silent Warriors” deserve a lot of accolades for the jobs they perform. But on the other hand, if I were the enemy I would capture every details about these Ops in order to identify their TTPs.
I wonder how the members of the Special Operations Community feel about this new found fame?
They don’t like it.
SEALs pride themselves on no one ever knowing their successes, only their failures. This new found fame is probably something they are uncomfortable with, especially considering every news agency is chomping at the bit to run another story about them taking down some terrorist or Pirate ring.
These are the kind of guys that don’t like or need to be recognized when they do a good job, they do it right because its inside them, its pure integrity.
I think we need to mine the coast of Somalia… sure 1 or 2 pirate boats will slip out… but it will greatly reduce the amount of hijackings… it’ll also keep traffic at bay thus reducing the risk of vessels to get hijacked.
Mines are cheaper and far more effective than keeping a battle group on station for prolonged periods.
That or put a series of barges right off the coast to serve as security platforms… just park a bunch of swingin dicks on platform right off shore about 5-10 miles apart with thermal sensors and high caliber weapons, with nothing to do but look for pirates… and this problem will take care of itself in no time.
That was actually a rhetorical question on my part. I’ve served with and trained with or under (then) current and former members of the Spec Ops Community. Most like living in the shadows and most take great pleasure in keeping their mouths shut when some keyboard commando that is within earshot starts talking smack about “How <insert Spec Ops Category Here> does it” based on what he read or their “experiences” playing video games.
Yeah I knew you were asking in jest… I was simply furthering your point.
My father was a PC CO at NAB Little Creek and I’ve heard more than a few stories about barely averted blue on blue do to the highspeed that these guys train at… they can’t call up a civilian oil tanker and say “hey… we are gonna try and board you without you detecting us ok?”… they just have to do it… and they can’t call up port security or the PC’s on escort and let them know either… they are training to do the real thing…
It has to be frustrating being apart of that community, simply trying to do a job the best you can, and now everyone hurting for a piece of the action and wanting a piece of the SEAL name so they can make their own careers bigger… like fucking Disney trademarking/copywriting the phrase SEAL TEAM 6… just a fucking disgrace. To turn the lives of the men that have died serving this country, into a fuckin mockery… for the sole purpose of making fuckin money. All Disney did when they did that was bet on a sure horse… Devgru will be in the news again at some point in time… and Disney will make money from it… when they themselves did nothing whatsoever. It makes me sick.
I’m gonna copywrite the word “Terrorist” or hey even better… I’m gonna copywrite “September 11th”… so every time its used I get paid… even if its used by the family of a victim in a book or interview.
just fuckin pure garbage… nothing is sacred today. They would dig up Lincoln and fuck his eye socket if they could spin it into a movie and make money from it.
same kinda b/s with people demanding to know whats going on at AREA 51… you know whats going on there?.. NYB Operations… None-Ya-Business… that’s what… now go the fuck home and and finish watching Jesse Ventura shit himself on national tv
while the actions of the SEALs and goings-on at Area 51 are interesting… I can get by without knowing any of it… I myself sleep soundly at night knowing there are rough men ready to do violence on my behalf…
I got you.
While I am disgusted by what Disney has done (I bet Ol’ Walt is rolling in his grave and wanting to come back and kick some asses) the bigger concern I have is why is this administration allowing all these details to be published? Don’t they realize the damage they are doing to that community’s capabilities and to our country’s in general?
At least Disney only patented a designation and has not done anything to put our troops in danger (as far as I know). While it seems the current administration is actually releasing these details to make themselves look as if they are pro-Military (which they are clearly not) or are willing to get things done (which they seem to be).
Disney surrendered the trademark to the Navy after the Navy filed for the trademark as well.
Disney Co is a bunch of greedy souless douches for even applying for it, but at least they did the right thing in the end.
It seems the Obama admin. is putting out all this info on ST6 and other operations to try to make themselves look better. There was alot of shit that went down during the Bush years that no one heard about because that stuff is classified.
And they didn’t want to get indicted! :lol:
I think it needs to be publicized only as much as it helps to put the fear of the Boogeyman into these sea-borne vermin. Mess with US citizens and bad stuff happens. I would think the less specific informantion that gets out, the more effective it is.
I think I would be more afraid of that silent ghost that comes in the night without warning… that no one knows who they are or what they are capable of… just in the shadows… like they were in Viet Nam… the men with green faces…
I think saying anything about them at all, is a bad move, because the more they know the monster… the less they will be afraid
children are more afraid of the monster that lives in their closet… that they’ve never seen and know nothing of… than they are the monsters they see in a movie.
In the Korean war, my grandfathers unit discovered a few of their men missing, and found them mutilated no too far away. That night, they infiltrated into the enemies camp, and snuck into the barracks as the majority of the enemy slept. They stealthily proceeded to cut the heads off every other man, placing the head on the chest of the body, as they slept… in the morning the surviving men awoke… and saw that death was free to move as he pleased… and would come at any time…
That to me is scarier than anything we can say, show, or demonstrate
Team America Fuck Yeah!
You can thank the current administration for that. They will do anything to make themselves look good. Election year and all. . .
and whomever proliferated the story either gave multiple accounts or aint gots a clue. MSLSD says that they deployed via helo, the AP’s radio updates say that they parachuted and them humped it.
Yeah just like the OBL raid we’ll get ten different stories when in reality we shouldn’t know shit about it.
Seals 3, Dipshits 0. Good on them and well done.
It may be all about timing and assets closes to the target area, but the Army D-boys must be having an inferiority complex by now.
I highly doubt the national media is privy to there coming and goings.
Bravo Zulu to the brave warriors that performed this mission.
It is difficult to think of a higher calling, than to rescue innocents from captors such as those.
God bless them and keep them all safe. I am very thankful that we have men such as these protecting our familes.
how awesome would it be if the woman rescued was a relative or friend of one of the SEALs involved in the rescue
and honestly at this point in time… Devgru probably looks at pirate interventions like an NFL Superbowl team playing against the middle school JV… just practice…
No matter what branch of service these guys serve in I doubt we will ever hear about all but a few of their missions, and such as it should be. I doubt any Delta guys have any worries about the worthiness of their task in life at the moment and vice versa. I wouldn’t judge various units based on what makes headlines or who gets outed being somewhere.
At any rate Im extremely proud of these guys, and getting these people out of there. Thats why they get paid the big bucks…
