    WASHINGTON (AP) — Two U.S. Navy SEALs are missing after conducting a nighttime boarding mission Thursday off the coast of Somalia, according to three U.S. officials.

    A search and rescue mission is underway and the waters in the Gulf of Aden, where they were operating, are warm, two of the U.S. officials said.

    The U.S. Navy has conducted regular interdiction missions, where they have intercepted weapons on ships that were bound for Houthi-controlled Yemen.

    The mission was not related to Operation Prosperity Guardian, the ongoing U.S. and international mission to provide protection to commercial vessels in the Red Sea, or the retaliatory strikes that the United States and the United Kingdom have conducted in Yemen over the past two days, the official said Saturday.

    In a statement Saturday, U.S. Central Command said that search and rescue operations are currently ongoing to locate the two sailors.

    The command said it would not release additional information on the Thursday night incident until the personnel recovery mission is complete.

      The US Navy is responsible for protecting all maritime shipping regardless of whether it comes to or from the U.S. It’s why the Navy is so freakin big, and why pirates are more or less history. Once the U.S. decides to say fuck it, which will probably happen soon, the globalized world will suddenly be very different when maritime shipping becomes more dangerous.

        You label them as terrorists. Others label you the same way. If you fail to see how your global actions are never in the wrong, you have worse common sense than North Korean propagandists

            You aren’t even human in my opinion anymore and my meds don’t let me talk to inanimate objects.

            You had me until this. This is always a bad deal. You can respect someone’s humanity while disagreeing with them vehemently. You can even think someone (terrorists, for example) is too great a threat to live while still not forgetting that they’re humans with similar mechanics to you.

            Don’t sacrifice your compassion for the evil of others.

                I said I agreed with everything else you said. Well, I’m sure some would consider you a terrorist for posting super gay memes, but fuck them.

                Those Seals aren’t mere objects and neither is the lemming with shit takes you were talking to.

    So apparently any non patriotic American content is removed here too. When America commits genocide it’s censored. Got it. Left reddit for poor moderation, leaving here. Peace.
