The Seal Team Commander who lead the mission to kill Bin Laden is dead due to "suicide." This is the 20th Seal Team member involved in the Bin Laden mission to die. All that an no Bin Laden body? I think we all see through this one.

Interesting...

Do you have a source or links for this being the 20th? Would be interesting to see them all together.
 
This accounts for most of the others: http://boston.cbslocal.com/2011/08/06/20-members-of-seal-team-six-killed-in-afghanistan-helicopter-crash/
 
Hi PerihelionX,

Your referenced source clearly states:
None of those killed in the crash are believed to have been part of the SEALs mission that killed bin Laden, but they were from the same unit as the bin Laden team.

This means I presume that your initial statement
This is the 20th Seal Team member involved in the Bin Laden mission to die.

hasn't been corroborated as of yet. Sorry to say...

Like Ark always says: the devil is in the details. ;)

I did some more digging on this article and it appears this guy wasn't even part of the Bin Laden mission. The article title is misleading. I've only been able to find one Bin Laden mission member has been identified by name so it's nearly impossible to corroborate the story that this man was involved.

Combine that with Palinurus' catch on the article and it looks like this is not a conspiracy, just a somewhat expected high level of attrition for SPECOPs personnel.
 
SEAL Team 4 is among eight SEAL team deployments. SEAL Team 6 is best known among them for finding and then killing Osama bin Laden, who orchestrated the 9/11 attacks on America.

Job W. Price - 42- who's hometown was in Pottstown, Pa. was in Seal Team 4.

Just before Christmas last year, local news carried a large write up of his High School accomplishments and Navy advancements in the Funeral notice. He left behind a beautiful Wife and 3 or 4 y.o. Daughter. Family and friends totally denied the claim of "suicide" and asked for an investigation.

This in a recent article: Families wanting answers in Seal Team 6 Deaths.

The August 6, 2011 Chinook shootdown in eastern Afghanistan is considered the worst loss of U.S. military life in the war-torn country since the Operation Red Wings in 2005. The crash killed all 38 people on board– twenty-five Navy SEALs, five U.S. Army National Guard and Army Reserve crewmen, seven Afghan commandos, one Afghan interpreter, and a U.S. military dog. For the families of the fallen special operations personnel, all they want is for Congress to investigate the tragic incident; but why is it so hard to make that happen?

On Thursday, three families of the Navy SEALs killed in the attack took their case to the public via a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

The families felt their sons were purposely targeted by the Taliban after the Obama administration confirmed that it was the Navy SEALs Team 6 who killed Osama bin Laden three months earlier. WND reported that the families also questioned the sudden replacement of seven Afghan commandos on board the helicopter just before take-off. As it turned out, the seven Afghan commandos killed in the helicopter shootdown were not the seven listed in the flight manifest. To this day, none of them know who those dead Afghans were.

Bill Vaughn, father of killed Navy SEAL Aaron Vaugh, said the SEALs were ferried by a Vietnam-era Chinook helicopter rather than their customary state-of-the-art special forces choppers, and the Taliban must have seen that as the perfect opportunity to target the troops.

The U.S. fighters were also reminded before landing not to clear the area of potential enemies with suppressing fire because there might be civilians in the areas, the article noted.

As many questions remain unanswered, such as why the helicopter’s black box was never recovered, the families couldn’t help but believe that the attack was carefully planned and not just a result of a random “lucky shot” as what U.S. military officials had been telling them.
 
Very interesting, maybe there is something to this.

It should be noted, however, that SEAL team 6 is somewhat larger organization than popularly conceived. Just because SEALs from SEAL Team 6 were killed does not mean that they actually took place in the Osama Operation. Only a small team within Team 6 actually conducted the raid.
