SEALs’ Families Hit 2011 Afghan Mission In Which Sons Were Killed; Deem Probe A Cover-Up -- Washington Times 

The families of Navy SEALs killed in an August 2011 shoot-down of a helicopter in Afghanistan came forward Thursday to blast the U.S. command and the Obama administration for the mission itself and for an official investigation they deemed a cover-up.

During a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, they said the Chinook helicopter had no gunship escort and no cover when it was attempting to land during a nighttime Taliban incursion. Insurgents on a roof top shot it down with a rocket-propelled grenade.

All 38 onboard died in the fiery crash including 17 SEALs, making it one of the elite unit’s worst losses in combat.

Well I don't feel the same. That Afghan war was to happen because there were terrorists who were taking shelter there and conducting massive killings in other countries. I think US had no option left. People should not blame it.
