It’s a nice piece of poetry, but it’s becoming apparent that the SEALs took out the guards before the guards had any idea there was a threat. Also, it’s more like al-Qaeda with around 8,000 to their score and the forces of freedom with some 100,000 to ours.

I remember what I was taught in the late 1960s in another place and another undeclared war.

War isn't about being fair.

A successful mission is when all of your people come home unwounded. The degree of success is reduced for each WIA and KIA. You lose major “success points” for every MIA and KIA left behind.

The SEALS did it right - no American WIA, KIA, MIA and the objective was properly serviced.

Enough said.
