Totally disagree.....things happen , batteries in NVG's go bad, comm is lost, gear breaks, plan A , B and C goes to hell in a nano shake. Aside from the super human image folks have of these guys they are human in physical ability but mentally they are warriors...SEAL's. I have no idea what happened and if it saves lives of others I don't need to know. With operatinal security and classified need to know only after action reports comes ability to complete the next mission and the next.

I am happy to know these folks are badasses that can think on their feet undre fire. But they bleed. But understand this....we'll only get what the DOD wants the MSM to know...true or not. Prayers up for these guys , their family and friends .

Just my opinion......but publicity, good or bad, hurts the spec ops community.

Exactly right - (and an additional fact is we usually only hear about when an Op goes bad, the other 99% are successful Ops).
