The team that carried out this mission were Joint Special Operations Command Navy SEALs, officially called Naval Special Warfare Development Group, but more commonly referred to as SEAL Team Six.

Now, would you like to show us that you know what a Resolution is, and how this particular resolution would:

1. Expose to the public a "God Damm thing that goes on during these missions. . . details [or] arm chair quarterbacking bull shit."

2. [Ruin] these peoples careers by giving them recognition." Prevent them from the ability "to continue to do what they do and [not] become political pawns in Obama's game for re-election!"

I'll even give you a hint. Here's the Resolution:

I don't give a shit what you think.

You are wrong.

This is BS.

It is going to do nothing more than turn them into political pawns for Obama. These people worked their whole lives for these operations. They don't need this BS.

Oh, and I see you let Google be your friend and you finally got the unit right....

No Google. Not wrong. Not BS. Your hysteria notwithstanding.

Ah, so your shorthand is ok (ST6), but mine isn't. Getting a clearer picture of you with every post. Keep 'em coming.

It's done. I linked to it and you read it. Why shouldn't Congress take a 10 minute vote and pass it?

If it's done it's done and 10 minutes to pass it..meh, you're right, it's nothing. but the whole thing... lots of time on something that isn't as important as other things that time to prepare the thing could have been spent on. I just don't "get" the need for it at all

And Mercenary was completely clueless when he said it might compromise those guys on the ground.

Exactly. Even if he was a part of ST6 (assuming I'm allowed that shorthand), it's clear he has no freaking clue what a Resolution is or what it's meant to accomplish. His asinine projections that a Resolution would somehow do harm to these guys or prevent them from doing what they do is so absurd it's laughable. And if this kind of moron could get elevated to that level, I'm suddenly more terrified of them than I ever was of OBL.

Now I'm going to call you a fucking idiot. How dare you claim that our PRESIDENT manipulated a team of Navy SEALS for political purposes. You filthy piece of shit, you disgust me.

Fuck off. He is using it for re-election. Everyone can see it.

It is not the event, it is the after press he is exploiting.

If you don't want to tangle with someone clearly smarter than you, then you can fuck off out of my thread.

Not even a goddamn clue what a Resolution even is, and I'm supposed to believe this dumbshit is a former Navy SEAL with JSOC?

HA HA HA HA!

Thanks. And sorry for misinterpreting your intentions. I've had a longass go-around with Merc today, so perhaps I'm a little testy. Sorry about that.

We all know they don't do it for the recognition.

That doesn't mean they don't deserve the recognition.

The Senate passed it 97-0.

What crawled up the House's ass that they won't bother to do the same?

Gotta say, this is the closest Merc and I have ever been, and it don't smell so good....
