Special operations forces from multiple service branches and more than 150 military aircraft were involved in the capture of Maduro

Everyone got a participation trophy, whether they actually did anything or not.

If she does, I hope it’s a silent picture. Listening to her makes my ears and ass ache.

Hey, you didn’t do anything. Where’s your participation trophy?

Almost as good a kill ratio as the F15.

She'd better pony up that reward money ($25 million, for Maduro's capture), pronto!

I wonder who'll be next?

Would make a good nickname for Maduro: "The Rat."

“Everyone got a participation trophy, whether they actually did anything or not.”

The US has demonstrated an interservice operability that none of our potential adversaries have demonstrated. The plan is likely layered with multiple contingencies. When the operation is gamed out, they’ll let the first phase play and then roll the dice thus selecting a number of mission kill options from the enemy side. The next layer, which as you point out may never be called on, is to cover the possibility that some mission kill happened to phase one. Then phase two comes in. Again, the dice roll. A second mission killer is envisioned. Phase three, which may be down to a boy scout troop by this point, moves in. This is how you guarantee with one hundred percent (Okay, probably the high nineties) that the overall mission succeeds. So, yes, a lot of guys didn’t get to do anything. But and this is critical; they got to practice their craft. Next time, they may be the lead group. (I’m sure the boy scout troop are breathing a sigh of relief.)

It’s not often a leftist country publicizes its own incompetence.

100 killed? Too bad. Next time send 200. We can get those numbers up.
