They were setup. They were in a civilian vehicle lightly armed and they had no RPGs. You and the NY rat times can call it what you want, but it was still a setup. 3 men with nothing but 5.56 rifles are not prepared for an encounter with Obama’s ISiS Bros of any sort.
Your confused. I never made a comment on the attack. If you want to blame someone other than ISIS, try the military. It's standard to mover around in local vehicles in such places. They didn't have any drone support to help the guys on the ground. They were asked to outside their normal parameters of work, and weren't provided aerial backup.
I don't why your posting to me other than to thank me for posting a article that has more info on the background that led up to the attack, and to the sacrifice of our men.
Since the new administration took over, Special operations Command has been given much more leeway to conduct operations, even delegating authority all the way down to the small unit level. When you allow the military this much latitude, these unfortunate things can happen. These guys got caught out in the open, probably after making some sort of on the spot decision. What we don’t see are the 100’s of successes SPEC OPS accomplish on a day to day basis...which have enabled us to kill large numbers of terrorists.
