Even with all the training in the world, there will be moments of vulnerability.

“With their jobs/background Im sure they had survival skills. So why are they dead?”
Because despite several hit movies and video games, SEALS and Green berets are not immortal in a combat zone?

If they follow en masse, re don’t allow them in. That “fight them there or here” thing is a false choice.

The Purp? Will he squeal on who he works for? My bet, it's not ISIS.

The suspect has been captured according to @syriahr. He allegedly escorted a woman to the restaurant and left before she blew herself up. He is seen running away from the attack scene moments before the explosion in CCTV footage.

And what good were these people doing there?
Under what Congressional authorization? This is what happens when our professional government ignores the constitution.
There is no reason to be in Syria.
To: BenLurkin
Just a guess but this looks very similar to the dining arrangements shown in the movie 13 Hours in Benghazi.
Civilian CIA agents go to local eatery to meet with local contacts while being protected by a couple of our special ops guys.
Or it could be a coincidence that a bomb was set off at the minute some Americans happened to be visiting that restaurant.
If you believe in coincidences.

Betrayed buy a trusted local, perhaps?
I have never understood them trusting the locals.
That's begging for something to happen.

I’m sure the local Taliban compound the bomb planters ‘worked’ out of has been leveled with no warning to its occupants.
War is Hell yaknow, even when one side refuses to acknowledge it is in one.

DJT has nothing to do with it and musclemen think long term like after DJT for instance when the Dem president opens the gates for all comers
And there is no Wall along the 3 coasts nor along the Canadian border - lots of places to cross

I’m no judge of that. But early reports I heard from Syria said Turk MiT was behind at least one of the attacks.

My bet, the lady who blew her self up, did not know she would go boom. Only that she would carry and drop. That is how it’s done there.
