On the surface, this blows.

I am of two minds on this issue.

I could say that these guys knew what they were getting into and accepted the risks. They knew or were told that something like this coud happen and therefore should not expect anything other than what is happening.

I could also say that this is dispicable behavior by the Federal Government. If you abandon your men like this it is no wonder we don't have reliable human assets in the intelligence wars. My visceral reaction is to "go Roman" on these people and burn their jungle, kill the inhabitants and salt the earth. But, in the end I know this can't and shouldn't be done.

Man this is frustrating.

Why to we send in humans to do a machine's job? We have excellent remote piloted planes (UAVs) that can gather all the info needed.
