Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire NSC spokesman John Kirby - SEAL's Can't Swim!

I hate to be captain obvious again, but maybe people have not noticed this story. Something isn’t right and just doesn’t add up. The events took place last Thursday, the comments by National Security Council spokesman John Kirby are today.

Look at the contrast between what U.S. Central Command put out -vs- the first AP report on the same incident.



Now look at the AP FIRST NOTICE reporting January 13, 2024 :

Two U.S. Navy SEALs are missing after conducting a nighttime boarding mission Thursday off the coast of Somalia, according to three U.S. officials.

The SEALs were on an interdiction mission, climbing up a vessel when one got knocked off by high waves. Under their protocol, when one SEAL is overtaken the next jumps in after them.

Both SEALs are still missing. A search and rescue mission is underway and the waters in the Gulf of Aden, where they were operating, are warm, two of the U.S. officials said. (read more)

We are supposed to believe that two naval special force operators, Navy SEALS, doing a ship-to-ship transfer, fully kitted, fell into the water, suddenly disappeared and could not be located in the two days between the CentCom announcement (Jan 11) and the AP report (Jan 13).

Eh… nope. Sketchy!

Notice the emphasis on…. “The mission was not related to Operation Prosperity Guardian, the ongoing U.S. and international mission to provide protection to commercial vessels in the Red Sea, or the retaliatory strikes that the United States and the United Kingdom have conducted in Yemen over the past two days.”…

Sorry, but when you spend so much time telling me what it is not, I suspect it is exactly what you say it isn’t.

So, my non-pretending Occam’s razor takeaway:

Two Navy SEAL combat “KIA’s”, killed in action directly as a result of U.S. operations in/around Yemen, have been turned into two innocuous Navy SEAL “MIA’s” because their death would be politically problematic for the administration.

So, here’s National Security Council spokesman John Kirby today. WATCH:

Hat Tip: Sundance

Notice Kirby is as nervous as a whore in church........ cause SEAL's can't swim....or something.

That azzole's nose ought to be six feet long by now- - - -as many lies as he's told! He doesn't even make an effort to be believable any more!

Hope those guys are found and they are ok.

More likely they fell in the drink after catching some bullets while boarding a vessel.

Not politically convenient.

It's common knowledge the WH is full of Hamas sympathizers. Do you think the WH is not leaking like sieve? The vessel being boarded probably was tipped off that they would have visitors.

Ya, and maybe something "special" on that vessel to entice SEAL's to do the boarding.

Assuming it even was a boarding operation they were involved in.

Hard to believe Kirby was an admiral.

With lips that are a perfect fit to the next guy up the chain of command- - - -the sky's the limit. Everybody above about O-4 is a political shill!

Hard for me to tell who the bigger moron is. The person answering the questions or the one asking them.

There’s Another General Austin..

Military is as Bad as Emanuel at picking Leaders of the Country..

I agree with that. There's something about upper management, whether govt, military, or corporate. Only the back stabbers/ass kissers (two sides of the same coin) rise to the top.

Colonel Douglas MacGregor said that WWII was won with only 8 (I think) four star generals and now we have 144 or so. Something ain't right.

The problem is the farce of "span of control". Basically you need way too many chiefs and few Indians. It has filtered down from the federal government to you state and local area. It's dog s hit.

Assuming here, but arent most, at least many, of these military heads products of our service academies?

How would that affect a citizens regard for these institutions?

I agree with that. There's something about upper management, whether govt, military, or corporate. It seems that only the back stabbers/ass kissers (two sides of the same coin) rise to the top.

admirals are scumbag politicians not leaders nor warriors.


They could give two schits about their troops

FWIW, Wikipedia says there are currently 44 4-star officers in the US military.

He worked his entire career in the USN Public Affairs office. He was never assigned to an afloat unit. He was a paper pusher and it shows in his comments.

Well, that explains everything.

Thanks, Mac. Even still, hard to see him being effective and becoming the guy in charge. He seems to have a double digit JQ.
