Taliban Says It's Executed Missing Navy Commando

They have not offered any proof of it yet, however.

So of a very elite team sent in to rescue survivors (there were none) of a downed helicopter in Afghanistan, this "best of the best" squad lost 75% of its members to the Taliban, who has done similar things in the past.

What do you think that says about the state of affairs in Afghanistan, which we were told was nice and calm and a successful democracy now?
