I cannot express the level of horror and sadness we feel over this event that took the lives of 31 of our bravest. Today we mourn and feel a sense of overpowering loss. May God be with their families – I know each of them has a special place in heaven. May those who did this meet a just and swift fate. These animals should rot in Hell for this.

I can’t help but ask how the enemy found out that SEAL Team Six was on that helicopter? And why altogether in one chopper? I’m not sure how many members are in the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, but this is a tremendous loss. I hope the SEALs will get to the bottom of this quickly – if anyone can, I know it is them.

According to sources, the team was thought to include 22 SEALs, three Air Force air controllers, seven Afghan Army troops, a dog and his handler and a civilian interpreter, plus the helicopter crew.

A helicopter crash in Afghanistan killed 31 Americans, including as many as 25 Navy SEALs in one of the worst single-day U.S. losses of life since the war began, a senior military official told ABC News early this morning.

A total of 38 people were on board the Chinook helicopter when it crashed overnight in the eastern Afghan province of Wardak.

Initial reports indicate up to 25 Navy SEALs were on the aircraft at the time.
It was also carrying seven Afghan Special Forces troops, one interpreter, five member helicopter crew and one dog.

Troops were apparently involved in a raid at the time.
