I watched Lone Survivor at home the other night. The Seals made the decision to let the goat herders go and try to get an extraction before they could tell the Taliban that Americans were in the woods. They made that decision based on what would happen to them if they killed unarmed civilians, they would be charged for murder. So the Seals ended up getting murdered instead. That is what is happening every day to our troops, taking unnecessary risk due to political correctness and the hatred of them by our POTUS.
We always talked about having to kill civilians on such missions, but I have yet to hear of a team doing it.
The SAS and Special Forces both ran into the situation in Desert Storm and didn’t.
