    Mostly Navy Seals, many from the same Team 6 that got OBL. Whether or not the men lost were part of that operation, we will never know. My prayers for those lost and their loved ones.

    As for our Pakistan raids…Pakistan has no control over those areas. They are completely unable and\or unwilling to stop extremist group training in those areas. The fact that we occasionally venture in should not be surprising…and I am sure some circles in Pakistan are secretly grateful.
