As a former chaplain for some special operators, Obama’s boasting was irritating, since I knew who’d really done the job.
What was infuriating, though, was their detailed explanations of the operation. Seals kept saying, “Let’s not talk about this.” They were saying that each bit of info gave our enemies a chance to figure out details of special operations methods and tactics.
I listened to Don Rumsfeld on one of the shows this week (Greta maybe) saying exactly the same thing. He gave Obama a bit of credit, but basically said that they should have shut up about how the mission went down. They were compromising the lives and future success of every SpecOp mission for years with their blabbermouthing.
