They're safe now........

.........Disney has their back.

Disney Trademarks "SEAL Team 6"

http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowln...-team-6_b35689

"In a perfect example of a big media company looking to capitalize on current events, The Walt Disney Company has trademarked “Seal Team 6,” which also happens to be the name of the elite special forces team that killed Osama Bin Laden."

Don't mess with Disney - they have tons of money and high price lawyers.

Well, I've read that there has been some negotiation for LCDR (ret.) Richard Marcinko's "Rogue Warrior" movie script for some years. Perhaps, this will be the push that will realize that project. Maybe Charlie Sheen will be cast as a SEAL (again)? Winning!!!

On the other side of that Coin. How many Delta, SEAL and Special Forces Operators. Have released books. Showing in GREAT Detail all of our TTP's. Not taking anything away from these brave warriors. But I would bet one of them leaves the Navy. Then has a book out with in one year. It's very hard for people just to turn that kind of money down.
I remember when simple CQB/breaching TTP's were kept close hold. Now you can order dvd's on how we do it.

When I was deployed in 07, my MiTT team went on tons of raids, cordons,and netted 0 insurgents. I used to read Stars and Stripes articles about Army SOF or NSW killed/captured ect. X # of insugents here or there. Made me feel like my military service wasn't a total waste. That was all I needed.

Should we start a poll on whether the team will be on display during the next State of the Union address? By then, several books, docu-dramas, and movies will have been released.

Yeah. As Marcinko. Winning a noodle-snorting contest at Bennigans.

CI Investigations

I respect the free press and all (per our oath) but I would very much like to see a more agressive response to the people leaking info in terms of criminal prosecution.

I hope, but honestly don't have much faith that they have been smart enough to put out disinformation regarding how the tracked Bin Laden. In other words I hope it was an informant, ISI or anything but what they detailed in the papers about tracking his courier. Sources and methods and all that.

And one of my favorite investigations for us old timers: "ABSCAM" (which is public info/knowledge)

Yeah, let's classify EVERYTHING!

Guess most don't realize that every name of Operation Eagle Claw is public knowledge,has been for decades.

Most countries that SF soldiers have traveled to have our names, pictures DOB's and SSN's.....

It's been 9 years since dalton fury aka thomas greer failed to kill bin laden. (Ever wonder why the SEALS got this mission?)

The only SOF soldier I am aware of that was actually targeted was COL Rowe.

It's not hard to find the Special Forces HQ or the SEAL HQ, and guess what no attacks there either.

Tell you what let's do this instead, let's make the enemy/terrorist/cowards fear us to the point they would never think to attack or target a Special Operations soldier .

Let's make them run and hide and cower in fear.

I don't care if 99.999% of the American public is afraid of the islamic boogymen, we're not.

In the words of Americans with Stones:

BRING IT!

Sounds like a good basis for a national right to carry bill.

What allow "SOF Soldiers, Sailors & Marines" the right to defend themselves on American soil? Are you crazy?

To all you civilians reading this, no we are NOT given any special rights to carry weapons inside the United States when "off duty"...... read that twice.

The cops of Mayberry have more right to carry arms than do Special Operations personnel that killed bin laden.........

Edit to add: And yes I believe that all Special Operations "COMBAT" personnel (active and retired) should be given a special permit to carry concealled anywhere in the United States, including commerical aircraft.
