When he was the Vice President, he did the most STUPID, unthinkable thing for a man in his position. He revealed the names and the unit that killed Bin Laden; "On May 3 2011, at a national event in Washington, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. did the unthinkable, he publicly revealed the identity of the special-operations unit responsible for bin Laden's killing, just to show that he "is in the know".


His reckless action put at risk the lives of every member of Seal Team 6. The Taliban and other jihadists eager to avenge bin Laden now knew which unit to target. Stunned and shocked, Seal Team Six members immediately realized they were going to be hunted by al Qaeda sympathizers.


Soon after Biden's reckless idiotic speech, an American CH47 Chinook was shot down by a rocket propelled grenade in the Tangi Valley, Maidan Wardak Province, Afghanistan, all 38 aboard were killed including most if not all of Seal Team Six, this incident became known as Extortion 17... After Biden had let the identification out, and before the Chinook was shot down, members of Seal Team 6 had called their families and told them to wipe out all connection to them, including social media, and disassociate themselves as far away from them as possible, because they too would be in grave danger as the Taliban would attempt to find them in retaliation...and Biden, well he didn't even drop a sweat over any of it, and was just too stupid to realize what he had done."

Added extra links relative to this. It's easy enough to look up the information yourself as well. These were just a few of many. Comments?

This smiling idiot is responsible for the deaths of most Seal team 6 by the Taliban, because he let them know which team killed bin laden. What an irresponsible moron. Your comments please?

I certainly concur with you my friend CSM Charles Hayden that it was deplorable that former VPOTUS Joe Biden outed SEAL Team 6 and the names of the SEALS that took out Bin Laden.
August 2011 shootdown of the Extortion 17 response
As far as I am concerned, it is very likely the Taliban was aware that:
[1] the former POTUS Obama's rules of engagement prohibited firing from the CH-47 Chinook;
[2] the Taliban potentially practiced and trained how to lure out some of SEAL Team 6 members.
[3] the Taliban most likely understood that attacking a special operations unit [in this case Rangers] would draw a special operations response [Rangers, SEAL Team 6, unnamed unit members].
[4] in all likelihood they positioned trained Taliban rocket-propelled grenade weapon operators on the potential routes to the ambush.

"At a Pentagon briefing on Monday, May 2, 2011, a senior defense official was asked if it was a Navy SEAL team that found and killed the world's most wanted man. The terse and proper response was: "Not going to comment on units or numbers."
Then on May 3, Vice President Joe Biden got up to speak at a dinner at Washington's Ritz Carlton Hotel marking the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Council to spill the beans about Adm. James Stavridis and "the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday."
From that moment, the families believe, the Taliban looked for an opportunity for revenge, and a government more concerned with politically correct rules of engagement than victory helped them get it.
Doug Hamburger, whose son Patrick was killed, called the incident an "ambush" that could have been prevented.
Karen Vaughn says she wants to know why her son Aaron and his team were not using special operations aircraft that have defenses in place to help allow helicopters to go deep behind enemy lines.
The night her son Aaron died, he was in a helicopter that was built in the 1960s and last retrofitted in 1985.
Like Benghazi, where rescue teams were ordered to "stand down," suppressive fire was forbidden as the Chinook flew into disaster.
The rules of engagement prevented suppressive fire from being aimed at the tower firing on the Chinook.

Why?
Billy Vaughn, Aaron Vaughn's father, recalled how a three-star admiral explained this breach to the grieving families: U.S. forces couldn't fire back, the admiral said, because "we want to win hearts and minds."
Like that other war micro-managed by politicians, Vietnam? Perhaps that explains why there was no gunship escort that night.
"We go to Dover to see bodies, and we're all in the hangar down there," Charles Strange, father of slain SEAL Michael Strange, recalled. "And President Obama comes up to me and he says, 'Mr. Strange' — and he grabs me by the shoulders — 'Michael changed the way America lives.' I grabbed Mr. President by the shoulders and I said: 'I don't need to know about my son. I need to know what happened, Mr. President.'"
Charles Strange says the president told him. "Mr. Strange, we're going to look into this very, very, very deep." Since then, Strange says, "I haven't heard nothing." As with Benghazi, neither have we."
