Actually the most audacious military invasion was when the Allies went ashore in Normandy France. General Dwight D.Eisenhower wrote his letter of resignation to Roosevelt before the invasion. He said he took full responsibility for the failure. The letter was never cabled to Roosevelt as the invasion was a resounding success. General Eisenhower knew if the invasion was not successful he would have no time for anything except salvaging his men and equipment from the potential disaster.

Another one that comes to my mind is Pickett's Charge, although [in that case] it failed ...

638 American Soldiers and Sailors lost their lives just rehearsing the Normandy Invasion after their ship was torpedoed during an exercise, a fact I'm sure Slow Joe never knew about.

Obama was on the 18th Fairway when the Seal Team was en route to Pakistan for the raid.

The picture of him with a suit jacket over his Golf Shirt in the Bunker cracks me up every time I see it. What a hero that Obama is. He missed having a Beer at the 19th Hole.
