Mike Sarraille Reveals How Extortion 17 Changed DEVGRU Forever
What was said
"I think it was a Saturday morning they go knock on the door, no response, they go back to their car. Think about three SEALs like trying to buy as much time as possible. They're like probably talking themselves up to go back to the door as Rich described it."
In a later passage, Sarraille relays what he says another SEAL (“Rich”) told him about notifying the family of DEVGRU operator Matt Mills after Extortion 17. Sarraille recounts the team knocking with no response, returning to the car, then working up to knock again—an account he frames as illustrating the emotional burden on casualty assistance calls in a mass-casualty event.
