Page 131 EXTORTION 17 Among the Americans who fell victim to the administrations confused policy with some of our most undisputed heroes, the best of the best of the special forces community: SEAL Team 6, also known as Naval special warfare development group, or DEVGRU. These are the men who took out Osama bin Laden in May 2011. You and I were never supposed to know about the involvement of SEAL Team 6 in the bin Laden raid. But, because of leaks at the very top of the Obama administration, we know an awful lot about operation Neptune Spear that once was highly classified. Those leaks ultimately may have cost the lives of 17 members of SEAL Team 6 as well as 13 other US warriors in Afghanistan when their Chinnook CH47-D helicopter was shot down by the Taliban on August 6, 2011. It was the single biggest loss of life in the history of the Navy SEALs. Karen and Billy Vaughn were the parents of one of those men, 30-year-old Aaron C. Vaughn. The day after the bin Laden takedown, we got a frantic call from Aaron in Afghanistan, telling us to clean our social media of any reference to him or his buddies, Karen told me. Mom, he said: weve been outed. Theres chatter that theyre going after our families. Youre in danger. Aaron Vaughn was referring to braggadocio comments made by VP Joe Biden on May 3, 2011, when he identified our brave Navy SEALs for the successful bin Laden raid. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates was disgusted at Bidens loose lips, and chastised him publicly for putting the family members of the Navy SEALs in danger.
