Montana Lawmaker Speaks About Elite Seals Unit

Montana State Senator Ryan Zinke spent most of his 22  years in the military with the elite navy seal team credited with killing Osama Bin Laden, and is a former commander of team 6. The 49 year old republican, from Whitefish, is the former deputy commander of special forces in Iraq, and was part of team 6 operations in Iraq, the Philippines, Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzogovina. Zinke  describes team 6, which takes nearly 10  years of training to become part of, as the best of the best.

Zinke says he feels a bond with the team members who carried out the bin laden mission early Sunday, but hopes they remain faceless, considering the high stakes and threat of retribution.
