Navy Seal Special Operations Warriors, Dead For Nothing
Petty Officer 2nd Class Marc Alan Lee was one of the world’s most highly skilled unconventional warriors - a U.S. Navy seal. But on the morning of August 2, the 28-year-old Oregon native was detached to a conventional U.S. Army force tasked with hunting-down guerrillas in a Ramadi neighborhood where four U.S. Marines had been killed the previous week.
When a firefight erupted between the Americans (and an accompanying Iraqi force) and a band of guerrillas, one seal was wounded, shot in the cheek by an enemy sniper. In the ensuing hour-long fight, stretching over several city blocks, another seal was struck in the shoulder.
