Maybe Travis can take a break from his current project and comment on Panama and Granada and the problems the seals ran into with the tactics of the Brass that put them into harm's way.
In Panama, the mission to destroy Noriega's personal "escape" Learjet with standoff weapons was changed to capturing the jet for use by the next president. The SEALs' screwed up modified plan was to cross an open runway, "hoping" not to be noticed. Instead they ran right into some of Noriega's hard corps personal guards well armed with belt fed weapons etc. Most folks blame the SEAL Team (deleted) CO for accepting the mission change, and not just saying "screw you" to whatever dips#!t State Dept type who thought that capturing the Learjet intact was worth changing the mission.
