leaving them tied up would not have been murder , they would have been found , the noisy goat herd would have ensured that. Does AFG have wolves ? They sure don’t have rattlesnakes , as the movie showed .

I have to read the book to see how that conversation actually went according to Marcus , not the movie producers . Marcus himself has written that , in retrospect , he kind of blew it : “ Of the realization that the goat herders had betrayed the SEALs’ position: “It was the stupidest, most southern-fried, lamebrained decision I ever made in my life. I must have been out of my mind. I had actually cast a vote which I knew could sign our death warrant. I’d turned into a fucking liberal, a half-assed, no-logic nitwit, all heart, no brain, and the judgment of a jackrabbit.” I agree with that assessment . We are too kind , too merciful , to those that couldn’t give a rip about either .

According to him the movie was exact the conversations were about not wanting them to die due to anything the SEALs did

It’s crazy how people second guess these guys like they were stupid

I’d think that way at least sometimes if I went through it. They counted on the backup coming after their communication didnt meet the second window.
They counted on the radios or the phone working

Our guys are not murderers. Going to he’ll for this country is not expected. And our country doesn’t murder children and old men

They were sent there without proper equipment backup and recon. The media is horrible but they did not kill these guys. The afghanis did
