I guarantee you those young men and women did their job with honor and professionalism; even if they didn't agree with the way they were told to do it. While I don't think you meant it to be, to suggest they weren't up to the job is simply offensive.
It’s just that they all looked so young as to possibly not be taken all that seriously by the moslems. Most of the young men didn’t even look like they could get a 5 o-clock shadow.
I would think that you’d want someone, at least a few, that had been there for several years and might potentially recognize the faces of bad guys. A 20 year old wouldn’t even have had two years over there due to boot camp and other early activities having taken place here in the US.
Wasn’t meat to be any reflection on them but someone who placed them in the most tense place there was.
