As news comes from the White House of another election year withdrawal of all American troops from Afghanistan which promises to leave the region in the same kind of terrorist run chaos as Iraq a House Sub-Committee on Government Oversight of National Security is set to grill Pentagon officials on the single largest loss of SEAL lives in history.
The Committee says the hearing is to honor the heroes of Extortion 17." But the families of those heroes have a very different interest in that hearing. They are not going to the hearing to listen to empty platitudes about the wrongful death of their loved ones…
The families of the fallen SEALs want answers… North American Law Center submitted official questions to members of the House Sub-Committee more than 24 hours before the hearing on behalf of Billy and Karen Vaughn parents of Navy SEAL Aaron Vaughn.
The hearing has received almost NO press coverage to date.
Billy Vaughn Aarons father released an explosive book titled Betrayed about his son and the circumstances surrounding the death of his son on 6 August 2011 in Afghanistan. The mission was code named Lefty Grove" and the CH47 was call sign Extortion 17.
The tragic event marks the single largest loss of life in Navy SEAL and Special Forces history and it was allowed to happen as a direct result of Administration policies a lack of mission readiness and suicidal ROE (Rules of Engagement) which adds considerable threat to our brave young men and women ordered into harms way.
A list of initial questions was delivered to committee members more than 24 hours ahead of the hearing. Despite a history of do-nothing dog and pony shows by the Issa controlled committee on matters like Benghazi the SEAL families intend to do whatever it takes to get answers.
Because this committee is on Oversight of National Security members of the committee must accept calls from Americans all over the country and Billy and Karen Vaughn have asked for everyone to make those calls in an effort to assure that these families will get answers to their questions.
