Navy SEAL Michael Strange was killed along with 37 others when his helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan in 2011; the single greatest loss of life for U.S Forces in the Afghanistan conflict and for Navy SEALs since their beginning. Several of the families of those lost in the attack have questioned the United States government of the incident and blame Washington for policies and statements that some believe led to those deaths.
His parents, Charles and Mary Ann Strange, have just filed a class-action lawsuit against the National Security Agency and Verizon, claiming they and their phone records were targeted for surveillance because of their outspoken criticism of Barack Obama and the U.S. military. This is believed to be the first official lawsuit filed against the government and the company, since it was revealed that Verizon had been ordered to turn over phone metadata for all of its customers.
