Fox News is reporting that they were from ST6; I know the media confuses units a lot (especially SEALs), but I cannot imagine the effect 25 men from such a small organization being gone in one blow.

That's what I'm reading as well and I thought the same thing. If the media does have their facts straight, why 25 ST6/DEVGRU (whoever they are now) guys on one bird?
Hearing shit like this makes me kick myself for quitting...
What an awful way for a group of true warriors (everyone involved) to go out.
Fair winds and following seas to all who were lost.

RIP Warriors, condolences to their friends and family in this difficult time.
Latest press release info:
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Nearly two dozen U.S. special forces killed early Saturday in Afghanistan were on a mission to rescue another team of military personnel pinned down by insurgents, a U.S. military official told CNN.
The helicopter that went down in eastern Afghanistan carried 31 Americans, including 22 Navy SEALs, who were part of a "quick reaction force" sent in to pick up others engaged in a fierce firefight, the official said.
In the single deadliest incident since the start of the decade-long Afghan war, the Army Chinook carrying a team of U.S. special forces and U.S. and Afghan soldiers went down in Wardak province.
Insurgents are believed to have shot down the helicopter, a military official said.

MSNBC is reporting that at least 20 of the SEALs were from the DEVGRU.
Sad day.

Operation Redwing was the first thing I thought of when I heard the news today. This is so heartbreaking.
