And you don’t hear anything about the two members of the team that DID fly in that were killed trying to just get TO the firefight. They were ambushed on the way. Six Americans died that night. We only hear about four.

Have we heard from next of kin? Link?

Speaking of the rescue mission, he said: “A team of commandos arrived by air and went to a farm which we thought was a secret location. Once they got there, they came under heavy fire from heavy machineguns, rocket-propelled grenades and automatic rifles, which resulted in the death of two others.”
