Call Sign Extortion 17

The Shoot-Down of Seal Team Six

By: Don Brown

Narrated by: Bill Thatcher

On August 6, 2011 - three months after members of Navy SEAL Team Six killed Osama Bin Laden - Taliban forces took down a United States helicopter, call sign Extortion 17. The attack killed the Air National Guard crew, seven unidentified members of the Afghan military, and 17 members of Navy SEAL Team Six - warrior brothers from the same team that had killed Osama Bin Laden just 90 days prior. Were the seven Afghan soldiers aboard that helicopter really undercover Taliban who either maneuvered the chopper within easy range of being shot down or sabotaged it from within? Were the SEALs sacrificed on the altar of political correctness and deliberately flown into a known Taliban hot zone?

Don Brown, a former US Navy JAG officer stationed at the Pentagon and a former special assistant United States attorney, re-creates the wartime action, tells the life stories of the elite warriors our nation lost on that day and tears apart the official military explanation of the incident contained in the infamous Colt Report, which reveals either gross incompetence or a massive cover-up.

Vital information, great call to action

Made me angry at the cover-up. Damning indictment of military incompetence at the highest levels.

Question, never asked

If you listen to the book, you’ll understand the title. Wonderful and compelling information. The narrator voice on the other hand was very radio like.

Incredible story

Tons of repetition but a story that needs to be told and fully investigated….for the families!

WTF REALLY HAPPENED?!?!

Another awesome book on Seals. I pray the truth of how and why they all died will finally come to fruition now that this book was released. What to do now AMERICA?????? Somebody, somewhere. HAS TO KNOW SOMETHING. We are not ignorant. God bless the families of those Troops.

Disgusting leadership

Having spent over 15 years of service to this country. I think I know what it's capable of. At least I thought I did. From Gen. Mattis on down to the lowest ranking person on the investigation board, they are all so clouded in their capabilities as leaders. And from the highest ranking civilian on down that chain there is horrible corruption. So many questions and not so many answers. Lies, cover ups, misleading a and half truths are strewn all through this story. I hope someone, somewhere can finally tell the truth to this tragedy. Just like the JFK assassination.
