Would you agree that the above were caused by politicians' failures, and not the failures of our fighting men?Only in part. Politicians didn't plan the raid, politicians didn't fail to anticipate that UH-60s could be brought down by RPGs, and politicians didn't send light infantry in unarmored vehicles into a city teeming with armed citizens.
