As far as I know SEALs don’t go into any situation without weeks or even months of planning. They also usually operate in teams of 6-8 certainly not 22 of them and all crammed onto a single crappy helicopter. This was a total setup. Not even close to normal SOP.
Someone ordered that mission and they need be held accountable for the disaster. Sending in 22 seals to rescue a small army unit does not make sense at all to me, it would be like killing an ant with a sledge hammer. The whole thing reeks, either from a resourse over reach or from a coverup to keep a lid on something else. BTW, unless I miss my guess, the military said the helo was destroyed and the seals were burned beyond recognition which does not comport with people who viewed the photos of the bird on the ground.
