Yes, we have heard a bunch of conflicting stories. But it's like playing telephone when you kids - One person whispers into another person's ear, and so on down the line, until the original statement is completely lost.
In this case..... This happened in a foreign country by a group of Navy Seals. The only ones who know exactly what happened was the Navy Seals. Then you have the President, Hillary, and perhaps the JCS who briefed a press secretary. The JCS might have even seen a live video feed, but that still doesn't really give the full picture. So you have the press secretary, who wasn't there and hasn't even spoken to the Navy Seal team who was there, trying to brief the press about an event that took place half way around the globe when the truth is all he has is a few details.
Then you have to factor in how people describe things. I'm a former US Marine; I describe a "fierce firefight" as something completely different than the average pornographer on GFY or even a press secretary.
But what... Then you have the press putting their own spin on it.
No wonder why so many people wear so tin foil hats. As events unfold we don't have all of the correct information, things get reported incorrectly, and then when people question and focus on mistakes made when discussing this with press it gets out of hand.
This was a combat situation with the most highly trained US force. They invaded a foreign country, next to a well armed military school, shots where fired in the pitch black, Four or five people were shot down, and helicopter was down... Sounds pretty fucking intense to me.
