MUST WATCH: Parents of fallen SEAL Team Six member tell Fox News son’s life endangered by Obama administration leaks

These are the same grieving parents we saw a couple of weeks ago who blasted Obama and Clinton for their selfish political concerns if the Osama bin Laden raid had gone bad. And now the Vaughns are going public, blaming leaks from the Obama administration, specifically VP Joe Biden, that made their son and other SEAL Team Six members a target. Their son was killed along with 16 other SEAL members in a helicopter crash when it was shot down by insurgents last year:

Three months after bin Laden was killed, on August 6, 2011, Aaron Vaughn died when his helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan. He was among 17 SEALs killed in the incident. A total of 30 service members lost their lives that day serving their nation.

The Vaughns don’t believe their son was on the particular mission to get Osama Bin Laden, however he was part of SEAL Team Six and none of them were happy SEAL Team Six was named as the one who carried out that mission:

Karen Vaughn stressed that SEAL Team Six members want to stay private.

“I can tell you one thing, SEAL Team Six did not want to be identified,” Karen Vaughn said. “So it wasn’t that they were trying to be proud of them, because those men do not need a pat on the back. They don’t work for that. They spend their entire lives in this code of secrecy and privacy, and […] they do not want attention.”

She said members of the Navy SEALs may be “the most humble men you will ever meet on this earth, because they accomplish great things,” but that does not mean they seek recognition for their efforts.
