To be real though...any coincidence that Wolfgang Hammertoes falls off the face of the Earth a few months ago and "bam" down goes UBL. I think he was a retiree recall. Maybe we'll get to read about it in his next book.

A local radio station has a featured caller, who claims his bother was part of the assault team. Stated several times that he is in "Specail Forces" never made mension of the Navy or SEALs. Also stated that his brother called him well before the President made the annoucement. Couldn't give him details, but told him they got bin Laden. His story was so full of bs, even the dj's were sceptical, but they went along with it.
Another caller wanted to let everyone know his girlfriend is a Navy SEAL  Apparently the Demi Moore story is true

ST-IX, the sister unit of ST-VI - now abbreviated as ST-LXVIII for security reasons. But DADT...at least not until the movie starring Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus comes out this summer.

Shouldn't that be "ST-LXIX"? Sounds appropriate phonetically as well....

I can't help but notice that Commentators have been calling the Seals "Special Forces". If we had been the only unit involved , they would be calling us "Special Operations Forces". How come, when they finally say Special Forces, they should be saying SOF? Dammit, I just confused myself...

I blame the Paulaner Salvator Doppelbock I've been partaking of. But if it requires a working knowledge of Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus I'm lost anyway.

Seems every network I've seen the past few days has been using the term Special Forces in regards to the raid. Even the American Legion.
http://www.legion.org/news/102051/bi...al-forces-raid
Sites such as MSNBC and CNN (RE: Post #10) are even using the term "Quiet Professionals."
