Following my interview with the father of fallen Navy SEAL Aaron Vaughn and subsequent articles on the issue of Extortion 17, I purchased a copy of Billy Vaughn’s book titled Betrayed: The Shocking True Story of Extortion 17 as told by a Navy SEAL’s Father. As I am about halfway through the book, I have already come across information that needs to get out into the public via FreedomOutpost.com. With that in mind, two days after Thanksgiving, Mr. Vaughn called me, and I made sure it would be OK in making this first post as well as other posts to follow. This is a lengthy post, but America needs to know what her Special Forces are having to endure under the current administration and how they are being demoralized, ultimately making them less, shall we say, “special.” That is using the SEAL’s words below.
The following is a letter the Vaughn received from his son Aaron in 2010, just before he was killed aboard Extortion 17 in Afghanistan, along with nearly 3 dozen Special Forces in what was the largest loss of life in the Afghan War. Mr. Vaughn is not sure if Aaron wrote it or if another SEAL wrote it and so he simply says that the author is anonymous. I suggest reading my interview with Billy Vaughn for some background that is relevant to what is being said first, if you have not read it. If you wish to purchase Betrayed: The Shocking True Story of Extortion 17 as told by a Navy SEAL’s Father, click here to order a paperback or electronic copy.
With the permission of Billy Vaughn, here is the raw version of the letter (pgs. 76-82).
