> Two SEALs from the Navy's elite SEAL Team Six and two Marines have been charged with murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death of Army Green Beret Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar in Mali in June 2017. If the case moves to a court-martial, the four members of some of the U.S. military's most elite units face the possibility of life in prison without parole.
> The charge sheets allege that on the night of June 10, the four special operations service members obtained duct tape, broke down the door into Melgar’s sleeping quarters, bound him up with duct tape and then strangled him to death while in a chokehold. The charge sheets do not provide a motive for Melgar's death but under the burglary charge alleges that the four broke into Melgar's bedroom "with the intent to assault."
>One of the SEALS is alleged to have gruesomely tried to cover up the damage to Melgar's trachea by carrying out a cricothyrotomy, normally a life-saving procedure where an incision is made in the trachea to help with breathing.
KEK! WTF? American Special Operations/ Forces is seriously next tier psychopath.
1. Why are SEALs, Marine RECON, and ARMY GB on a fucking mission together? 2. Out of the three, are Marine and SEALs S/O known for being completely nuts?
My Unlce is an FBI higher up and told me that they look to Special Forces for recuitment for agents, and that SEALs are notorious for failing the Psych exam and Lie detector test. KEK!
>KEK! WTF? American Special Operations/ Forces is seriously next tier psychopath. Well, yeah, their jobs involve being the most efficient and effective killers in the military.

Ever heard of JSOC? Every country has their different branch special forces acting together.
Jonathan Sanchez
You're operating these men on the edge of their psychological capability. Shit like this is going to crop up from time to time.
Noah Anderson
Uh, because it Is. A small percentage of people murder people. In turn, you imprison or kill the hell out of them. That's how it works. Yes, in the larger scheme of things, murderers are existent. They're as "normal" as you would expect the relatively low number of murderers to be "normal." What does being a soldier have to do with that? It doesn't. It's curious to presume no soldiers are ever going to be a murderer.
Therefore, as said, send them to jail or execute them. Nothing here impresses on me greatly.

Carter Davis
The victim looks like a fucking jew. He probably cheated them and they were going to teach him a lesson, accidentally killed him, and panicked so tried to cover it up.
Carson Jenkins
>WTF?
They probably wasted some civilians for fun and he was going to rat out on them. Or there was some drug smuggling going on.
Brandon Torres
Lmao, the American military is a fucking joke. All that money won't make Americans in it any less stupid.
Apparently in 2017 the NSWC did a full drug screening obviously including the SEALs and over 70% of the SEALs tested positive for illicit drugs in their system. HAHAHA!!!

Former GB here (18C, 1/1SFG -- and still living in Japan).
We do a lot of joint work in weird places. Africa has a MACOM but not really a well defined mission for anyone involved on the Navy side (Marines and SEALs). BUT... admirals want to get their accolades in relative peacetime, too, so the moment an ODA sets up a camp somewhere immediately the Marines say "Oh! Just 8 or 10 guys out there alone with host nation forces?!? THAT DANGEROUS! You need a bunch of Marines for force protection!"
That fucking FP $$$$ cycle... So you get a bunch of poor saps in a Marine platoon, sitting on their ass, usually on perpetual lockdown, pulling their dicks. BUT Now you've got a PLATOON, so they need SUPPORT so in come some contracting bullshit. Well, once that's going on you CLEARLY have local economy access and placement (A&P is a big buzzword of its own in the intel community -- it can justify nearly anything) so you have to integrate OGA retards (like seriously retards, like 3d or 4th string pieces of shit from the CIA who could never get a meaningful strategic posting in East Europe or a tactical posting someplace super active like Afghanistan)... And once they arrive, the auxiliary special operations folks come out of the woodwork.
So you wind up with some random assortment of SEALs, a Marine Force (or whatever MARSOC calls its goons these days), a ground controller or PJ just fucking because, etc.
Usually things go swimmingly and everyone defers to the SF team's team sergeant anyway, because WTF everyone on the planet defers to a Green Beret Tea Daddy. BUT Sometimes you get SEALs and MARSOC dudes who have NOTHING to do, and they sort of avoid the SF team (which, remember, had the original job to do -- whatever it was -- and is busy with that) and start getting into trouble.
If they got into the international-incident-causing sort of trouble (big crimes: rape, drug running, undermining LBG Chieftan X, etc), an SF guy would pipe up about it.

I suspect they have sacrificed themselves to eliminate complacency in the modern military. Superior technology has allowed members of the armed forces to feel invulnerable in some theatres. This lack of frostiness could make us susceptible to a devastating larger surprise attack. But nothing restores a man's edginess like one's teammates randomly deathraping each other in the night. This is the quick route to increased readiness. The cost is necessarily shocking, but really quite small.
Cooper Clark
My son, who in in SOCom, in another branch, calls them frat boys with weapons training.
Well, the guy is a goblin. I'd bet the four guys that killed him were white. It must have been racism.

Jackson Lee
No, it is not dangerous allowing these people to roam around in public. There are greater threats than these special forces, roaming around in public; unlike these special forces units, these greater threats I speak of do not have a sovereignty over them that keeps them in check, making them extremely dangerous.
Aiden Hughes
We don't know if the SEALs lied to the Marines about hazing the Army guy though. They could have lied to the Marines knowing fully well they were gonna kill the Army SGT.
Jack Stewart
why are seals the top force? why the fuck is the navy whose force is less than 1 percent ground combat the top special force?
more like
>Seal: we need a taxi we drunk >AIRMAN: SURE THING COMRADE! >SEAL: OH SHIT ONE OF OUR GUYS FELL OFF >AIRMAN : WE WILL PROTECT OUR COMRAD! "FIGHTS TO GET THE DRUNK SEAL BACK" >SEAL OH HE DEAD LETS GO DUDES

Killing OBL made them superstars. If a different group would have done it, they would have become superstars. But at the same time, DEVGRU is one of the most elite units in the World.

Gathering Intel and buying information and support from the local population and leaders to gain a foothold and geostrategic benefit from the region to use against our enemies.
You mean "killing obl" right? Since obl has been dead since like early 2001 and all

wouldn't they just ask force recon? Isn't the entire point of force recon is intelligence gathering? Why would they send seals? They are just trained killers.

Kayden Bennett
SEALS are notorious for going on binges and doing some fucked up shit while on leave. They usually get out of trouble because the navy has already spent a ton of money to train them and they are elite operators who are needed to fuck shit up over seas.
Cooper Jenkins
That picture made me so angry inside

This is common feuding. I bet some shit was said that couldn’t get taken back or maybe tge guy was an actual subversive without loyalty to the US.

i'm glad i never had to deploy with any operators, i'm certain they would have killed me after i reported them for fucking up and the higher echeloons looked the other way.
Henry Garcia
Seal's are glorified EOD, don't know about devgru but most of the SEALs I saw in Iraq were out of height/ weight refs; my sf buddies say they are the most disliked and unprofessional of the Spec Ops groups

That sounds very expensive.
> So you wind up with some random assortment of SEALs, a Marine Force (or whatever MARSOC calls its goons these days), a ground controller or PJ just fucking because, etc.
But why 2 dudes from SEAL TEAM SIX? Also I see you called Marines "Goons" Is there some reason behind that?
> Usually things go swimmingly and everyone defers to the SF team's team sergeant anyway, because WTF everyone on the planet defers to a Green Beret Tea Daddy.
So the ARMY is kind of the automatic leadership that all branches will put incharge when working together?
> Sometimes you get SEALs and MARSOC dudes who have NOTHING to do, and they sort of avoid the SF team (which, remember, had the original job to do -- whatever it was -- and is busy with that) and start getting into trouble.
LOL! That's fucking hilarious. I love how you said they avoid the main group, and do their own thing. Is that because they think they are the shit? Why do the SEALs and Marines seem to be the main trouble makers?
Hornets nest, to hell and back again, faded reality
Camden Stewart
Aren't Force Recon just "elite" infantry? Like, SEAL & GB would be Tier 1 and Force Recon/Rangers would be Tier 2? You have too many groups. We've got Commandos & SAS that perform the same roles basically.
Commandos are like your all round SEAL/GB/Ranger unit
SAS does everything that Commandos do but also do CIA/DEVGRU/Delta secret government type stuff
Adrian Cox
Too bad the Predator feed picked up the entire incident. From the helo crash to the abandoned Airman fighting off the mob of Afghans. t. milfag forced to watch on loop for three hours in the CENTCOM JOC
Sadly, if you're not wearing the trident you're not shit to those 'people'
Not a Good Day to Die has a super accurate play by play of the entire joint operations shit show.
