[ Where did you get your info? These guys were former SEALs, and there were other well trained men, possibly former SEALs as well. ]
Fox news and other places.. Once a seal always a seal.. kinda like being a marine.. Well trained men without ordinance do not do well against RPG’s.. and mortars..
The idiot running this operation is indeed an idiot..
He(she) should have recalled them all or beefed up the security..
An idiot was running this operation..
They must be graduating idiots at Annapolis(West Point).. now..
Maybe some Air Force General was busy choking the chicken.. or stuffing it..
Well, they weren’t working for the US Navy. They were contractors reportedly working for the CIA which makes them some other acronym. And I have known some former Navy SEALs. They did not say “I am a Navy SEAL.” It helps to differentiate to the general public that these guys were not currently under the command of the US Navy. They were working for an agency that does not always send in the US military to pull its employees out of hot water. That is why they were highly paid. In this case, the mission was already blown and the media was going to be all over it. Military assistance was warranted. This is my opinion.
