A Navy SEAL from the elite SEAL TEAM 6 was killed and another SEAL injured Thursday night during a parachute training accident in Marana, Arizona, the military said. Details of the accident are not immediately available.

One SEAL was pronounced dead on arrival at the University of Arizona Hospital. The second remains hospitalized in stable condition.
Members of SEAL TEAM 6 carried out the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. All SEAL teams receive extensive parachute training, which is often required for hostage rescue or anti-terrorist operations.
The names of the two SEALS involved in the fatal training mishap have not been released pending notification of next of kin.

These guys just keep dying. Its almost as if they had information, that could change the worlds perception.
 


They do a lot of training.

Sometimes you die during training. These guys are worth a lot of money and do a lot of prescreening prior to being accepted. I just can't buy into the idea that, with as stingy as the government has been with military spending, that they're offing their own assets that cost them millions to create in the first place, assets that still have a lot of ROI left in them.

Not saying this was anything other than a training accident. Its just very unusual to have so many seals die in such unusual ways. And so shortly after their most infamous missions. Either way no one will ever know the truth.

Right, but I just want to make sure it's put into perspective that training isn't always a cakewalk. If you look at training related fatalities versus combat related deaths, it might surprise you.

Just 2 weeks ago, 8 Marines and 2 Navy were killed / hurt in an artillery training accident. Most of them hadn't even deployed yet. No motive there, just another shit accident.

Edit: Seal Team 6 is a lot bigger than people realize, too. Not everyone in Seal Team 6 has met one another, for example. And not everyone on Seal Team 6 was involved in the operation.
 
It's a conspiracy!

Or maybe they just do really dangerous shit 200 out of 365 days a year, raising their death rate a tad.

I get what you're saying. I really do. I have the utmost respect for the men and women that "protect" our nation. And completely agree with what you're saying regarding the frequency of these 'training accidents'.

The only question I would ask is. How many SEALS died killing Osama? How many that were on that mission have died since? What are the odds that one SEAL team could have so much misfortune and freak accidents after that 1 critical mission?




** It is acknowledged it is completely unknown (to the public) if these 2 men had any participation or knowledge of the events that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden.

I agree, the MM makes it seem freakishly common lately. And I don't disagreee with asking these kinds of questions, but I'd need more evidence to support a claim like this.
 
There's lots of squadrons of SEAL team 6, and they get sent to very dangerous missions.

If the government wanted to off the people involved in the Osama mission, they probably wouldn't tell you about their deaths.

Agreed. The problem is the powers that be will never allow you access to that evidence. So the only thing we can do is call people who ask these questions conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile people will continue to die.
 
Maybe other like units experience just as much misfortune as seal team 6 yet they're simply not reported on because they don't resonate with people at all. The majority of people relate seal team 6 to killing obama, so it makes sense for the media to report on them.

But J, Seal Team 6 isn't real. Who are you even talking about?
