Oh, sure, ignore all the other coincidental deaths and focus on the helicopter crash. The article might be a joke but the supposed suicide of a military leader who was with Hillary Clinton flying to Iran a few weeks before his death isn't funny in my book. Feel free to move along, because if there was something fishy here you wouldn't be able to see it.

You wouldn't be discharged if you mentioned you had doubts in the past. You would be placed into a non-combat position, sometimes within the SOF community, sometimes in another field depending on what was required.

Misleading article much? It lumps every Seal Team 6 death with the Osama bin Laden raid, which is so far from the truth it isn't even funny. The two seals that were in the parachuting accident had nothing to do with the raid, neither did all those in the CH-47 shootdown that took place a few weeks later.
The Seal Teams aren't one big entity. Seal Team 6 (also known as DEVGRU) is made up of multiple squadrons, each of which is a sub unit under the Team 6 umbrella. It's the same with all the Teams. The members of the raid were chosen from various teams, and pulled into one amalgamated team for the express purpose of that raid.
As for Commander Job, other than a few articles there is nothing to indicate that he "found and killed" bin Laden. No one on the Team has positively been identified, and the only one that I know of was known as "The Shooter" (although his story supposedly didn't quite match up to others on the raid).
The raid was carried out by Red Squardon, DEVGRU is made up of Red, Blue, Silver and Gold, which are assault teams, Black which is Recon and Surveillance, and Gray which are the small boat crews. Each of those squadrons are split into three troops, THOSE are split into the smaller teams that perform the operations.

I remember when people were saying Clinton had death squads going around killing people a few years ago. It turned out that a lot of the people he had "killed" were friends of someone, who knew someone, who worked with someone, who worked with Clinton. It seems that every president lately has some kind of death squad roaming the streets getting rid of people.

I think your ignorance is showing here. Never did I say that the first link was 100% truth, and I linked a few more articles showing other web sites that are displaying the same information. I stated that there was something not right about the story. Your just reading what you want to read. Did you even look at the second link?

Oh I know, I just find it easier to use the designations that most people know them by as much as possible. It cuts down on the confusion, and the 9000 character posts trying to explain why I keep using a different name than they do, and why I'm not even talking about the same thing.

"Most" of DEVGRU hasn't died, by any stretch. It is made up of four line units of about 50 people each, which is subdivided all the way down to the team level.

Jesse Ventura was never a SEAL either.

Jesse served as a Navy UDT under the Vietnam war.
