Just a few questions I'd love answers to...
1. Why do Navy SEALs trace their ancestory to UDT instead of Navy Scouts and Raiders?
2. Why did JSOC choose to go with the 160th instead of AFSOC?
(a)
Is it because AFSOC chose the wrong platform? (CV-22 instead of
MH-47)
(b) Does this indicate that the 160th is considered a higher
tiered unit?
(c) How have they been able to keep a top secret
aircraft under wraps in the middle of Kentucky?
3. What was the backup
force? Army Rangers? More SEALs?
4. How did SEAL Team 6 get the mission instead of DELTA?
5. What has DELTA been doing? SEAL TEAM 6 has been all over the news lately...what are the other Supermen in the DoD doing.
6. Was a package of fast movers available to provide assistance? How many, what type, what branch?
7.
How big a force was the SEALs thought capable of engaging? If a
platoon of terrorist were inside the compound...detected 10 minutes
before landing would that have scrubbed the mission?
8. Is it
common for the President to personally observe these type missions? I'm
fairly certain that they've thought that they had "him" before.
9.
What other assets were dedicated to this mission? A commenter on ARES
suggests that jammer aircraft, command and control platforms etc were
assisting. Is this true? If so then why is that considered a secret?
10.
Once it was determined that the helicopter was not completely
destroyed, why wasn't an airstrike called in to finish the job. Could
the remnants give clues to our enemies about our classified aircraft?
11. Who was in control of this mission? JSOC? Central Command? CIA? Or was it run out of the Sec of Defense's office?
Just a few quick questions. If you have more then send them my way.
