TMR 135 : Charles & Mary Ann Strange : Michael, SEAL Team Six & Extortion 17

Published: Feb. 20, 2016, 8 a.m.

b'This week we are honoured to speak with Charles and Mary Ann Strange, whose son Michael\\u2014Cryptologic Technician and Petty Officer (Collection) First Class Michael Strange\\u2014was tragically killed in a suspicious helicopter shoot-down in Afghanistan.

Michael had served as a member of SEAL Team Six when it was reported to have assassinated Osama bin Laden at the beginning of May 2011. But on August 6, 2011 Michael was killed\\u2014along with fourteen other members of SEAL Team Six, two other Navy SEALs, thirteen US Army and US Navy support personnel, seven Afghan commandos, one Afgan interpreter and one US military working dog\\u2014when the CH-47D Chinook helicopter in which they were travelling was shot down by the Taliban.

But this was no ordinary tragedy in the horrific course of warfare; it was a deeply suspicious event. And many of the families who lost loved ones that day continue to press their catalogue of serious questions that the authorities seem unwilling to answer.
