#NavySEALs #Houthi #Somalia
Rip
RIP and thank you for your service. Sad day…:(
It’s sad to get sucked into the props of a boat. They didn’t feel anything
A simple ceasefire vote by Biden would have prevented their deaths this but he chose to veto it twice as instructed by Nutinyahoo and his z10n1s+ cult 😡
My Country is United Sates of America not Israel.
Can we just get a reporter that can talk eloquently and well when talking about military-related stuff?
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Unfortunate says news talking head.
It’s crazy that we would have no idea that they did this raid without this happening. This missions are done consistently and we never hear about them. We are constantly being protected by heroes and the only time we ever get to say thank you is after they pass
Heart breaking, at night in the ocean I couldn’t imagine
Navy Seals drowned? This suspect
How is it they just disappeared? Did they get captured and killed? Or were they eliminated by their own to keep quite that there were no weapons parts on the ship? Hmmmm makes you wonder now adays
RIP Guardians.
RIP
Hoorah brothers.
God Bless their families. So sorry for their loss.
That dump isn’t worth these good men.
heartbreaking. prayers to their families.
Nice story for Hollywood movie but seals will only complete missions in movie 😂😂
😅😅
Is it legal to sink a ship ? No war declared?
Who were these defending?
They were raiding on an operation targeting a ship transporting weapons to Houthi rebels.
Well, if anyone can survive, it’s probably these two. Have they actually recovered their bodies?
I mean us should mind its own business and not interfere in others situation
AHHAHAHAHQHQHHQQHH.
I CANT STOP HAHAHAHAHHA
i thought seals could swim
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
2 LESS MURDERERS IN THIS WORLD . . . THATS ALL THESE SO CALLED SPECIAL-OPS PEOPLE ARE, MURDERERS . . . ALL FOR A DUMB FLAG . . .
gaza will remain a territory, Isreal. Once the buffer zone is in place, as long as they obey the law, they might be allowed to return to their homes. Terrible parents and gaza I can imagine not being able to feed or protect my kids
This is warmonger Biden’s fault.
Weak America strong Iran face the consequences
😊
Very sad, but the navy has some questions to answer for in terms of process and technology applied under such emergencies. A heat seeking robotic rubber dingy could easily locate bodies in the sea, if deployed within minutes. Also why were they not wearing life jackets ??? Where was the backup team located? Many questions need to be answered.
How does ANYONE know how they died? It’s very suspicious. They could’ve been killed. How do they know the Seal “slipped”? Ask yourself these questions. It’s a cover-up. Possibly due to the fact that the Houthis killed them or even captured them, and we are scared to admit the failure of the mission.
I dont understand how this happens. Wheres the surveillance teams? Why dont they have small compact life jackets. Like the ones scuba divers use in emergencys. Why dont they have a tag or some sort of tracker. How does this happen.
Womp womp
I was in the Coast Guard and one of the most dangerous recoveries was a ‘man over board’ emergency. At night and in choppy seas compounds the issue maming a recovery very unlikely. Plus, if the water is cold, that puts the serious limitation of time into the equation. Our life vests were equipped with these heavy duty strobe lights which made a visual location so much easier for the guys doing the recovery. Loosing sight of a floater pretty much never ends well.
Back in the late 90’s there was a Marine who fell off an aircraft carrier while on transit through the Arabian Gulf, it wasn’t until later that day during muster that he was missed starting a search. Every body knew the odds of finding him were almost nonexistent but they looked anyway. In the mean time, the Marine treaded water for like 36+ hours until a small shark fishing boat picked him up. They took him to a remote village where he had to hike out to find phone service and when he called the regional navy authorities to tell them he was alright, they didn’t know what he was talking about. He finally had to call his parents in Idaho and they then worked the problem from their end getting their son reunited with his unit. He was a lucky persistent guy.
Edit: His name is Zachary Mayo and this happened in 1996. The Washington Post has a good article about it.
As a former Coast Guardsman, I have to say their loss was due to dereliction of duty by the vessel commander and lack of propper training of the crew. When someone goes overboard, the first thing the crew does is throw a life ring and lighted bouy overboard. the person seeing the person going overboard points to the person in the water. The vessel is stopped, turned around goes just short of the bouy. If its a ship then a small boat is launched to pick up the person in the water.
It is obvious the commander did not do his job and should be court martialed for the loss of lives.
What are you doing there. 😊😊
Are you stupid?
How many servicemen has Biden gotten killed to date?Honor them by finding out why they were even put in that position???Having a hard time believing they simply drowned
yes im on the service for 16 years 12 marines 4 navy ,they did not go missing,, they were killed on a mission, what happend was they were goin to stop these small somalian ship, wich was takening Iranian guide gps missiles to the houthis , and the 2 seals were shoot and KIA , the navy sinned sayin they felt into the ocean , as frog man , falling in the ocean the light in ur helmets will light up as a beacon , and seals will never leave a seal in the ocean ,
Communicatiog in Growlish.
Condolences… my nephew is a navy seal
My prayers and condolences to their friends and family, team members, may they rest in peace.
They are not dead one is a State champ swimmer and the other one isa diving instructor. Stop the lies 😤
Are they wearing make up
They ain’t swim so good.
A GPS tracker beacon is 300 dollars….you wont lose Seals if you buy them one. Shame….!
all of our military should be at home not protecting Israels genocide
If you go to Middle East with this news it has no meaning at all as people over there don’t care about these two deceased person. Nobody cares😢
Should have never been there . Maybe you Americans will learn from us Italians mind your business and stay alive .
So sad.
😂
Ansar Allah won that sea battle, against the US Navy seals, only 2 dead ?
When will Americans learn not to die for nothing in a place where they have no business of being there?? I wonder if they know how much the world hates them because of their foreign affairs policies trying to play the role of world police and dictators
No big deal, just 2 white priveleged. racists, right Dems?
What a hero going in after his friend. It really shows that bond you share in the military. My thoughts are with the family,
Why would they necessarily be deceased? Is there no way they could’ve survived the elements and get carried to the shore by the currents? Too cold? Also, do they not carry any kind of emergency transponders like pilots? At least shorter range ones, like beefed up avalanche ones? No means of communications alongside a GPS? Am I unreasonable for thinking that at least one of these should be standard for “combat sailors”?
Crazy how they don’t wear flotation devices
They are missing. Let’s keep praying they’re not dead, come on people! They are Seals, not weak people!
How come they don’t have ping trackers??
The Rainbow Empire lost a couple guys.
my friend is friends with both of them. my heart breaks for everyone impacted. rest in peace 🤍
Worried about Yemen when you should be focused on the IDF
Rip
Rest in Peace Buddies❤. Thank you for your service to our country.
Somalia is highlighted on the maps
Is it the next target of Israel Usa army of genocide and colonialism
After Iraq Libya Syria next Yemen Somalia warmongering Usa never rests in its need to enrich the war lobbies and the politicians who are paid to vote for neverending wars
😢❤🦅🇺🇲🔱🌎🌍
shshark ate them
Blaming Joe Biden in 3.. 2.. 1..
So basically they died protecting Israel’s interests
They risk all, so that we may sleep peacefully every night.
RIP Warriors
I still do not understand how this could have happened. Were not one or more Seals left in control of the boat? Did the Seals have individual commo equipment? Why didn’t the boat crew immediately seek out the two Seals? I certainly do not think that USN Seals are invincible, but this loss again shows that when we send troops in harms way, that their lives are at stake.
Godbless
This could have been prevented, but our corrupt leaders want to create wars and support genocide.
BREAKING NEWS yeah sure
Jeesh that Second Lady is a terrible news anchor. Had to rewind her talking 3 times to understand what she was saying.
GOD BLESS our servicemen. GOD BLESS the families and friends of these two sailors. ~ JDS/CT
God Bless America
Rest in peace my brothers!
So were they found? Or just declared dead?
lol the Russians would never clowns🤡
Bull crap about them missing. Believe me and the USA government that they are not “lost” probably somewhere their government don’t feel like retrieving them
Means they were both Devgru?
Thank you for fighting to protect me and others around the world. Prayers for the family of these warriors.
The look corrupt asf
RIP
So sad!
Prayers for the families of these two brave men!
The story does not add up one fell in the other one jumped in well who else was out there it wasn’t just those two. Seals don’t drown”🎉
they’ll be fine.
Thank you & massive gratitude to you brave soldiers whom sacrifice your life
🤟🏼
Saying that they were in the Navy, how do you know they didn’t just go elope on a remote island
So sad,my condolences to the family!

[13]Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
Sharks had a good meal that day. 😂😂😂😂
I wonder if they were thinking thanks Israel as they floated
Rest Easy boys!
I’m saddened that the lives of these 2 warriors are no longer with us and the deep loss for those that called these men family. Time may never mend the void these gentlemen left behind. I’m also very angry that they perished in defending and protecting the Jewish state. When will people realize that this foreign government {U.S. government} has no problems sending all of its citizens to their death. They play a great hand that it is patriotic, honorable to lay one’s life down for their countrymen. I wholeheartedly believe that to be true on American soil. Not on some strange, foreign land/sea. When will the elites send their children to fight and die on foreign land? The oppression we face today is no different than the tyranny our founders broke free from. Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, we are not free. Keep your family and neighbors safe and don’t forget to pay your taxes if you would like to remain “Free”
There’s no way a Navy Seals life will be taken by the sea 🌊, they are top swimmers and like fish in the water , how can they die from going over board ????
Coupla boy scouts.
