Yeh, so the body of OBL, one of the biggest criminals in US history was simply dumped at sea. What a joke.
I agree, what they should have done was use all female personnel, all on their periods, as funeral detail. Laid him on a pigskin blanket, had the girls piss on him, cover him in freshly used tampons, wrap it all up together, weight the thing to make sure he faced down when he hit bottom, THEN throw him in. Film it, and sell it on DVD/Blu-Ray. Could have fixed the economy. Hell I'd have bought 5 copies.
And then they burned the bodies of the SEAL team 6 members who supposedly killed him. Big coincidence.
Which of those killed in the helo were involved in the Bin Laden raid? I was unaware they had released that info. In fact your own link states it was unclear and "One source said there were at least a couple who were involved in both." So we don't actually know. A SEAL Team isn't just 10 guys, it's nearly 100, 79 were involved in the Bin Laden raid, and only 17 SEALs were killed in the Chinook crash, only 15 of which were from ST6. If they were trying to cover up something involving Bin Laden, why would you only take out a few of the people involved, rather than all of them? Especially considering these are guys who tend to be pretty loyal to each other, and if they thought there was some sort of grand conspiracy to kill a few of them because of what they know of the OBL raid, they'd surely say something about it. And it's not all that big of a coincidence when you consider that SEALS are in a pretty high risk MOS.
Anyway how exactly does cremating bodies that don't need to be cremated work as a cover up of of Afghani soldiers selling information?
Good question. The answer? It doesn't. And that was my point. There would be nothing on the bodies that would give away anything that article was questioning, or anything relevant for that matter. So the idea of the cremation being a cover up is bull.
A black box would give us better information of how they died as would the bodies. You would obviously want that covered up if they were deliberately set up and killed because of their supposed involvement in killing OBL.
Unless you think the pilots deliberately crashed it, or it was somehow remotely controlled, the black boxes wouldn't tell us anything useful in this context. They couldn't differentiate between getting shot down by insurgents, Afghani forces, US troops, or the CIA.
The bodies would have none of that info either, about the only thing they could tell us is if they died from impact trauma, burning, or possibly the RPG itself.
For the record, I wouldn't be surprised if they
were set up. Not by us, but by some of the Afghanis. And the statement that ST6 wasn't being targeted was most likely bull as well. It's likely they said that as not to overly worry the families of those in the unit. The SEALs themselves were probably told different.
