Thats retarded... over 20 people dead is a lot. Would you say 20 people isn't that many if they said 20 die instead of 7 percent?

#4 Posted by Alex_Murphy (1184 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

How are they shooting down helicopters? Do they have something that locks on, or did they just get lucky with an RPG?

It is when you consider it takes at least a year of training to be a SEAL and the drop out rate is like 80%.

I thought a SEAL team were the size of a combat squad

I don't really want to take any sides, but when you go to a war, you have to expect causalities.

Think of it more as a group of incredibly brave soldiers died in the line of duty. It's a tragedy for any soldier to die, even if it is an expected price of war.

On this topic i happen to agree with Einstein

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

#15 Posted by Enigma777 (5973 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

Yes, I'd rather they said 20 than use percentages. Generally you only use percentages when you want to make things sound in your favor, something that's not being accomplished here.

That's exactly what I meant, but I didn't want to take any sides. I am againts all wars, but this is an american website and I don't want to offend anybody (I am NOT from USA).
#17 Posted by Praab_NZ (277 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

Wars suck, are bad, and shouldn't happen in the first place. But any event where people are killed is a tragedy.

#18 Posted by AhmadMetallic (18957 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

maybe they should get the fuck out of another people's land? pretty sure that'd stop them getting killed

#19 Edited by apoptosis61 (600 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

i dont blame american ppl , i blame the politics and the 'dark side' , u know , there is something more powerful then the king himself behind the scene, but the sad thing is that a lot of american ppl believe these lies.  
 
you open your T.V. tell me plz, how many times you will hear this word: 'terrorism', it get repeated so many times , so many fucking times , ppl at the end will believe it. 
 
war is a very bad thing , hope ppl should  ban that shit ........ but it sounds more like a utopia words... sadly

What? If they leave and go back to their homes, they stop getting killed. I just found a solution for your misery.. 
But you're right, who am i to ask a bunch of nation-annhilating neo invaders to leave a land they don't have the right to be in? what an absurd request of me.
#25 Posted by Tim_the_Corsair (3065 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

Fucking hell, leave the political bullshit out of one thread?

I disagree with the war in Afghanistan (as much with how it's being fought as with the moral implications of invading a sovereign nation), but that doesn't make the death of these soldiers any less tragic.

They are there on behalf of politicians, as are the soldiers of my own nation (Australia). These men were killed doing their jobs and it is a shitty, shitty thing to glory in their deaths as a way of saying "herpaderp War on Terra iz WRONZ0RZ!!!" or "this number of blind albino fetuses are aborted every millisecond".

None of those things makes this any less sad. It's this sort of attitude that had returning Vietnam veterans getting spat on in the streets, and that is a fucking disgrace.

I thought that as well. So that would make 7% not even one man? Apparently not...

Where do you see me saying that their deaths are not tragic?  

Death is always tragic, and those soldier's families will never be the same and have a lot of pain to deal with and i do feel for them, but that doesn't change the fact that they shouldn't be there in the first place.  
It's not their land, they went there and forced their shit on another people, afghanistan, iraq, somalia, etc etc.. always planting their shit in other people's homes, killing innocents, running over their cars with tanks, forcing other human beings to strip down naked while blindfolded so they can fucking pile them ontop of each other and release dogs at them while taking pictures, going into civilians' houses and knocking down the doors and pulling them out of their fucking homes, making the women and children lie on the ground facing down as they search their men..
 
I like america as far as countries go, and most of the music and movies i enjoy are american, and i have a lot of american friends on the internet, some of which i've had for years, but hey, fuck the US army i hope they fucking burn. fucking savages in 21st century outfits.

If you care about these 30 people dying at all, it means you don't care about anyone else who died. The retard logic works its magic. 
This thread went from zero to pathetic in record time. I'll let the sheltered cowards with their internet bravery take over from here I guess.

The town-centre bombing in Norway was one thing, but I can't really get choked up about an accident with SEAL Team 6.

I mean they probably kill people every day, and dive into the most dangerous conflicts in the world all the time.

Probably the latter. It was flying low and Chinooks are LOL huge. They were bound to bring one down eventually.

From what I heard they were trying to land on the roof of a taliban leaders house... 
So, yeah... that sounds like a pretty ridiculous thing to do with one of those...

Whatever your thoughts on the politics of the situation, a loss of human life is always a tragic thing.

I'm not even going to try pretending I care. People die tragically every day; it's the way of life. And in my opinion, becoming a soldier and then going to another country to either kill or get killed is fucking idiotic. It's about as intelligent as playing russian roulette.

Exactly. It's not a tragedy, it's another day at work. They're fucking soldiers.
#41 Posted by JerichoBlyth (1044 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

Think about the amount of intense dedication and skill existed in each ONE of those SEAL's...yeah - 7% of a specialised group is a critical blow. You never know - any one of those guys and gals might have had a particular key skill, which was unique to them. A literal one in a million individual.

#42 Posted by Makoto_Mizuhara_Sakamoto (588 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

And all because of the fact that they were trying to help keep peace real a bit longer in Afghanistan... nuke the fuckers that killed them.

Well aren't you all battle hardened and gritty Mr. Neverdidathingworthashitinhislife?

I'm sure it's a tragedy to those who they left behind.

Oh. Haha.

#44 Edited by warxsnake (2555 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

First, Seal Team 6 doesn't exist anymore. It was replaced by DEVGRU over a decade ago. Seal team 6 is the old nomenclature that technically shouldn't be used anymore, but blame stupid media for spreading it around when Osama was killed. And there are rumors that even the recent DEVGRU name was replaced by another name but it's classified. Delta Force was replaced by ACE (Army Compartmented Elements).

And any loss of life is tragic, we shouldn't forget about the Army crew that was piloting and manning the Chinook, and whatever Afghans were flying along with them.

The helicopter was being flown by 160th SOAR (night stalkers), the same group that was involved in the MOG in 1993 (black hawk down).

Timely little lession about how killing and dying really works. I do feel bad, but then someone somewheres almost mostly feels bad when somone else dies. Mommy, daddy brother or sister. Is it Us-0, Them-1? This is going fucking wonderful.... I guess we were feeling so good after Bin Laden I would not have been suprised the reboot that Seal movie with charlie sheen I believe.

Can someone tell me what the hell they are even doing over there still? Keeping peace? This place is so far in the dark ages that it would takes hundreds of years to create any change. Sad to see lives lost for no reason at all, Osama is dead, Saddam is dead, get the fuck out and go home.

#49 Posted by Ekpyroticuniverse (119 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago

@Dylabaloo: actually he wrote a letter that made the USA explore nukes as he was concerned hitler was making one, in his later life he said it was his biggest regret, he didnt take part in the manhatten project at all.
