Afghan government: Taliban kills 1 U.S. sailor, 1 held.

The Taliban have offered to exchange the body of a U.S. Navy member they said was killed in an ambush two days ago in exchange for insurgent prisoners, an Afghan official said Sunday.

C*rp what in Gods name were they doing without support this going to cause problems.

Sounds like a fair trade - the body of one U.S. Sailor for the bodies of several insurgents...

Only problem with that is they want them alive, d*mn where are the Seals?

[Integrity57]

I'm sure they're out there buying info off the locals, I just hope they can track down their location and send in the most ****ed off bunch of shooters in the AO to get them back.

My other problem with this is why the h*ll were these people where they were?

[kenrobg30]

I'm with you Butch. Why were they in that area, if it was high risk area ? If it was a mission, where the hell was their back-up ? This makes me sick!!! KEN

[hbharrison]

[MKearin]

Yeah, me too. Why would they wander so far from their unit?

Theres just something weird about this whole thing.
I'm gonna hang in and find out more but I doubt
any of it will be even remotely close to any truth.

Semper Fi.

That video was just way to steril.
There are two things that the media are always going to do.
Either they will make it sound worse than it is for ratings or
down play it to make it sound better than it is.
Maybe I'm just a mean old Jarhead but I'm a firm believer
that the media should never be involved with combat opperations
and the politicians need to have their scrotes tied tight with
wire ties and forced to listen to their own garbage over a loud speaker
24-7 until their freaking ears bleed and they go nuts like me
