Navy takes a hard body blow
Story.
I should point out for accuracy's sake that there is no confirmation that the same SEALs who raided bin Laden's compound were aboard this CH-47 when it went down. But the story says that 20 members of Seal Team 6 were killed in the shootdown. The Navy does not release the names of individual members of ST6, and may not even identify these KIA as having been members. A reputable report I saw is that when President Obama asked for the names of the ST6 members who killed bin Laden, he was told (tactfully, of course), "We don't release those names, not even to the Commander in Chief."
