I guess ‘no man left behind’ isn’t a Green Beret value.

I think Green Berets probably know and live that value better than the vast, vast majority of us can imagine, but the reality of a given situation can make the best of intentions impossible. The level of skill and efficiency of Green Berets is such that I wouldn't presume to condemn the men involved in any way.

This is something that his comrades will live with and be haunted by for the rest of their lives.

You ever been in the beaten zone of a deliberate complex ambush? If so, then your opinion matters, if not, it doesn’t.
