I read the raid was to rescue Peshmerga ( Kurdish fighters) but the facility had no peshmerga so none of the “ rescued” were Kurds

Bad Intel or.... .?

So who and what they risked lives to rescue is unidentified and a brave American is dead for maybe no good reason

or worse, if this “ raid” turned out to be a false operation to get some of our ISIS allies out of Iraq or we were played by ISIS

It appears though the Kurds they were trying to rescue weren't there, there is an upside (if the unnamed "authorities" can be believed)

Authorities said the raiders killed and captured a number of militants and recovered what the Pentagon called a trove of valuable intelligence about the terrorist organization.

From here.

Knock off the bullshit talk that man died saving lives. Really tired of the bullshit talk on this sometimes.....its not all about politics....or imagery enemies.
