Still, that's the best article to date on just that specific night.

Good article but some things inaccurate. First of all Seal Team 6 does not consist of ONLY Seals. Army Delta Force and Air Force Para-rescue make up the team as well. Second of all the dog was never identified as a Belgian Mal or a German Shepherd. Third no one knows **** about the Seal Team 6. Not even the documentary that was on the Discovery Channel. It's all rumors.

You don't know that. I know that team 6 is not only of Seals. The bigger picture of team 6 was JSOC which they have probably changed that name too bc it's changed pretty regularly which consists of the Navy Seals the Army Delta Force and the Air Force Para-rescue. From those groups the "elite of the elite" are chosen to make up Seal team 6.

I think you're confusing Special Ops and SEAL Team 6. Why would they name it SEAL Team 6 if it had Rangers and whatnot in it? I don't know any Rangers that would want to be in a SEAL team. They'd want to be in a RANGER Team 6.

Dev-Gru (SEAL team 6) and CAG (Delta) both fall under JSOC but are not the same unit. Both work hand in hand on some operations and separately on others depending on the specifics of the mission. The pentagon still doesn't admit to the existence of Delta.

This article might help you understand it a little more. I have someone very high up in the Air Force who has explained it to me. http://www.theblaze.com/s...avys-secret-seal-team-6/<div>
</div><div>Basically Seal Team 6 does not exist. You nor I will ever know the name of that team. We just classify them as Seal Team 6 which was given to them during the Cold War to confuse the Soviets. I'm not downing the Seals so don't get me wrong. I'm just saying these guys are the elite of every military dept. there is because they are the best of the best.</div>

Seal Team 6 was most assuredly made up initially of Navy Seals when it was started in Vietnam. What its composition is now I do not know. There is a great book by the founder of Seal Team 6 (Richard Marcinko: Rogue Warrior). I highly recommend it for an entertaining and eye opening read about a true badass. Another favorite in that genre is Delta Force by Eric Haney as he chronicles his recruitment and training in one of the original Delta Force classes and his resultant assignments.<div>

I do. JSOC is comprised of various SF. Team 6 (or DEVGRU)is comprised of frogmen and frogmen only. Now they fall under JSOC (which is commanded by an ex frogman). They are stationed out of Virginia. All even number teams are stationed on the East Coast whereas the odds are stationed on the West Coast. Now you may have read some stories about something or another, but those are the facts. You cannot call yourself a SEAL or be on a team without completing BUD/S, and for the time being, only enlisted and officers in the United States' Navy are allowed to complete BUD/S. The trident is given to these people and these people only.

know who wrote that or where they get that info, but based upon books I've read written by Team 6 and current SEALs I have talked to, that article is off on many facts. Hell the article shows a picture of the patch they (Team 6) wear and is a Trident, which again, is only given to SEALs. I don't know what Doc Fogelsong told you, but he was wrong.

This is a really cool site about badasses.

http://www.badassoftheweek.com/

There is some seriously phenomenal stuff there. I recall a WWII story about a guy that would make Duke Nukem look like a pu$$y.

Ha Fogelsong yeah right I hated him as much as everybody else did. My sources were coming from a Chief Master Sergeant. Just leave it at the fact that no one is going to know any specifics of any of those guys in Counter Terrorism.

This badass reigns from our neighbor to the North. No, not Ole Miss,
but Canada. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Leo Major.

http://www.badassoftheweek.com/leomajor.html

Leo Major fought Nazis in WWII the way most people think could only be
done in video games. This man landed at Normandy with legions of other
Allies and stormed the beach. Managing not to get shot, he combed the
French countryside and single handedly killed a squadron of Nazis and
stole their truck carrying communication equipment which proved
invaluable for wartime intelligence.

A week later, Leo Major came upon 8 SS soldiers, Hitler's own badasses,
and he smoked every one of them. But not before the last one launched a
fireball in Major's face which burned up one eyeball. As Leo's superiors
told him to head home, he gave them the finger and told them he still
had his left eye for aiming through scopes and he was gonna keep
fighting. Leo Major fought the rest of the war with an eye patch on his
right eye, storming Nazi positions with a rage not seen since State fans witnessed Dick Pace make that pass interference call.


(artistic interpretation)

In one battle, Leo Major was sent to check on a Canadian infantry that
didn't return from a mission. He discovered that the town there had been
captured by Nazis. So he single handedley killed or captured every
single member of the Nazi garrison there. He returned to camp with 93
German POW's in tow. The Brits wanted to offer him a distinguished award
and he told an Allied High Commander to piss off because he wasn't
done.

About a year later, Major was sent to do some recon work in the town of
Zwolle. While there, a Nazi sniper killed his best friend. Big mistake.
Like a pre-pubescent video gamer playing with the all of cheat codes,
Leo Major strapped 3 guns on his back, grabbed a sack of grenades, and
charged the town and unleashed holy terror like had never been seen
before. Badass found the SS officer's club, kicked in the door, and
killed everybody in there and went on to burn their headquarters.

I am reminded of Clint Eastwood's quote from "Unforgiven" where he says
"All right now, I'm comin' out. Any man I see out there, I'm gonna shoot
him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, but
I'm gonna kill his wife. All his friends. Burn his damn house down."
But ya know, I'm not sure Clint Eastwood could wear Leo Major's jock.

By morning the remaining Nazis evacuated Zwolle, leaving Leo Major as
the only survivor still in the town - which he returned to Dutch
control. You're welcome.

By the end of WWII, Leo Major still wasn't finished kicking ***. He went
on to fight in Korea where he and his squad fought off 40,000 Chinese
to capture control of a particular hill.



Sadly, Leo Major died in 2008. Rest in peace, badass.

with this assertion at all. However, the fact remains; Team 6 (DEVGRU) is most assuredly all SEALs.

It sure is easy to get your worked up, but keep the stalking up. I know it makes you mad that you've looked like an idiot about basketball over and over by me. Hey, you might get something right one day. Until then, keep trying.

from your constant replies to my posts that add nothing of value...

Pulling out the tough boy talk there buddy. I'm sure you could beat me in tennis, Navratilova, but I can guarantee you I'd run circles around you in basketball. You need to quit getting so worked up about being wrong. Just post less, and your aggression will lessen. Again, I appolgize for getting you so upset, buddy.

You can run, as you said you are training for a triathlon, but can you take it to the rim against me, I seriously doubt it..
Most gym rats are in the gym because they aren't good at playing any sports..
You don't upset me at all, I find it all very humorous...

That's really interesting and I'm right there with you. I think our government is very corrupt and keeps anything and everything from us. Check out the stuff Bohemian Grove and Skull and Bones. I'm just thankful I live down here in the South and surrounded by the faithful rednecks.

Not that I 100% trust the mainstream media, but I don't see any "mainstream" media sources in your google search.

And in the first 3 links, I see one source say he died of kidney failure and another source say he died of a lung complication.

And one source sayshe waspresent at his burial in the mountains of Afghanistan. And others say he's literally been "on ice" for years, just waiting for the most politically expedient time to be revealed.

So it's not entirely consistent. Not that I necessarily disagree with you. It's interesting to considerand I really have no idea.But I certainlywouldn't put it past politicians to do something like what is suggested.
