UPDATED: SEAL Team 6 "Secret History Of Quiet Killings And Blurred Lines" As Unit "Has Been Converted Into A Global Manhunting Machine With Limited Outside Oversight" Per N.Y. Times Article On SEAL Team 6 Untold History

     Wednesday, 10 June 2015, MACHIPONGO, VA - Below readers will find a few of the many pictures included in the unprecedented deeply informative detailed New York Times article linked to below revealing for the first time to a broad audience many secret and little known details of the history and evolution of the unexpectedly diverse "operations" and tools including a threatening collection of special weapons ranging from those pictured below to tomahawks of the officially non-existent Seal Team 6 (officially the Naval Special Warfare Development Group) systematically eliminating vitally urgent national security threats with deadly efficiency but whose members at other times often with CIA involvement also have engaged in apparently unauthorized deadly at times questionable highly lethal activities seemingly unrelated to any urgent national security imperative with little or no oversight from either SEAL Team 6 ostensible overseer Joint Special Operations Command  nor the Naval Criminal Investigative Service which has a worldwide mandate over U.S. naval activities.
     Readers interested in more information about the above can go can go to the link directly below to the New York Times article "SEAL Team 6: A Secret History of Quiet Killings and Blurred Lines" which in the subheading states that "The unit best known for killing Osama bin Laden has been converted into a global manhunting machine with limited outside oversight."

     [UPDATE] The above article has provoked such a response from readers that the Times  has published an article describing the range of vehement letters supporting the SEALs as the most dedicated, strong, sacrificing, patriotic of warriors for this country who must do the dirtiest of work that is nevertheless essential
at times and should be honored as the exceptional heroes they are while there are also a "core" of commenters who are just as vehement that the often vicious slaughter which they must perform is neither necessary but of course horrific not only for the victims but also for the young men who serve in SEAL Team 6 both because of lasting injuries to their bodies and minds.
     The Ninth Amendment for interested readers provides the link below to which readers can go for that article which provides an overview and analysis of the original article's comments. Interested readers can go also to the original article linked to above for a link to those original readers' heated comments which range from adamantly calling SEAL Team 6 members everything from the worst of cold-blooded killers to the greatest of heroes.
