"I just know what I read in the newspapers."

Ok, you explain it to me. Again, if this is not being misreported, the cop sees some young toughs in a pickup, stops them because one is riding in the back in a 40 degree drizzle, and is attacked by the occupants of the truck. Are the three in uniform? No. Are they marked in any way to show that they are taking part in an exersize? No. Can the cop be expected to be clarivoient? No.

The spec op guys fell to their own bad judgment and the bad judgement of their superiors.

Running this kind of drill without tight controls will inevitably cause problems. This time, it got people killed.

Responding to your post Rifleman, you express ignorance to the issue of the SF training. I guess to somebody who either has no military training or special operations training - they might say what you say.

But even to the commonsensical person, it might make sense that in an exercise where one is trying to evade capture, one may not be in a uniform signifying he is trying to avoid capture.

This statement of yours' shows not only ignorance on the subject at hand but lack of reasoning ability. When taking part in a military E&E exercise...oh never mind........you cant comprehend the text obviously.
