“When a person dies, he disappears, along with his past, current lifestyle, and his future. Many people die in missions and wars. They die easily and in surprisingly simple ways. Those who died had hopes and dreams, but everyone has something as important as those: parents, siblings, friends, lovers; people who are important to you, they trust and help each other. The bond between the people important to you ever since birth and the string that binds them becomes thicker and stronger as time goes by... It's beyond reason. Those bound to you by that string will do that because it is important.” ― Masashi Kishimoto Search Global Recon Podcast on ITunes Sound cloud, or click the link in my bio.

There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you will still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to everything. -Hagakure: The Secret Wisdom of the Samurai Search Global Recon Podcast on ITunes, or click the link in my bio.

Navy Seal killed in al-Qaeda raid is identified

"The name of the first U.S. service member killed in combat under the Trump administration was announced by the Pentagon on Monday.

Chief Special Warfare Operator William “Ryan” Owens, 36, of Peoria, Ill., died after he was wounded during a nighttime raid on an al-Qaeda-held village in southwestern Yemen on Saturday.

Three other members of Owens’s unit were wounded in the ensuing gun battle, and an additional three service members were injured when their transport aircraft crashed nearby.

 In a statement, the Pentagon said Owens was assigned to an “East      Coast based Special Warfare unit,” a turn of phrase for the elite Navy  SEALs, including Naval Special Warfare Development Group or SEAL  Team 6.

“Ryan gave his full measure for our nation, and in performing his duty, he upheld the noblest standard of military service,” Secretary of Defense James Mattis said in a statement. “The United States would not long exist were it not for the selfless commitment of such warriors.”

The Pentagon billed Saturday’s raid as an intelligence-gathering mission against militants from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a group the United States has targeted since 2002. While the last U.S.-led ground operation against the militants was in 2014, the Obama administration has sporadically targeted the group with airstrikes in the years since.

In a statement Sunday, after Owens’s death was announced, President Trump said the operation was successful and 14 fighters were killed.

Local reports said that more than a dozen civilians were also slain in the battle, including the daughter of the radical Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in 2011 in a U.S. drone strike. On Monday, the Pentagon said it was assessing the civilian casualty claims.

Owens enlisted in the Navy in 1998, serving his first enlistment with naval intelligence before volunteering for the SEALs in the months before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to a limited service record provided by the Navy. He finished basic SEAL training in 2002 and was sent to his first unit, located on the West Coast, in 2003.

Owens was previously awarded two Bronze Stars with Valor distinguishing devices and had eight Sea Service Deployment ribbons when he was killed. He will be posthumously awarded the Purple Heart.
