So what conditions would you define as "unsure"..to put it lightly..or a "threatening" situation. Define for us please what consititutes a threat large enough for you to shoot?
Is there any doubt this waould be a "Kill Mission"? and that is really the problem you have with this I believe...and it wouldn't matter to you if one gunfire fight or many...or for that matter none at all...your reasoning is to have given Ben Laden the benifit of the doubt and give him opportunity to surrender. A risk you would likely assume would be appropriate for him... Regardless of screaming woman and children, and our troops ability to have saved them and get them out of the line of fire....regardless of seeing guns armed and ready within hand reach of Ben-Laden...regardless of so much evidence of the environment. Again ...you are unaware of war and the missions our men go on...especially when it comes to special forces.
You completely fail to see the cirsumstances and situation surrounding the mission...no matter how much you explain you understand that...you do not.
I understand your point. I just don’t agree. You have explained it adequately.
