Lone Survivor (Hover)
Based on the failed mission "Operation Red Wings" which tasked four members of SEAL Team 10 on June 28, 2005 to kill Taliban leader Ahmad Shah. They were quickly compromised and under attack.
It is really sad modern soldiers do not know how to handle prisoners. A lot of lives could have been saved had the S.E.A.L.s just tied-up the mountain people and left them for someone else to find. Letting them go to tell the terrorists was a very stupid mistake that cost many people their lives.
Worrying about what the News would say about the murder of seemingly innocent mountain people tomorrow? Seriously? Was it really any better to have the slaughter of American soldiers in the News instead?
Besides, seeing as the mountain men ran down the mountain and informed the terrorists, it seemed the mountain men were in league with the terrorists and not so innocent after all.
Keep in mind, I am not saying that I support what the S.E.A.L.s were doing. I am against it. Those S.E.A.L.s were in that country illegally and their mission was nothing more than to commit murder.
Why is it the USA requires Mexicans to jump through hoops in order to get Green Cards and live there. Yet, the USA thinks it is perfectly fine to completely disregard another country's rules and just drops off a few S.E.A.L.s without the necessary VISAs or other documents that are required to be in that country?
Doesn't anyone else see how wrong this is? Had there not been a huge loss of American life, this mission would have been classified and kept secret. Had there been no mountain men incident. Had the S.E.A.L.s succeeded in their task to murder the terrorist they were hunting down, it would have remained classified and out of the News. The general public would never have found out.
Why is it the USA expects their citizens to follow laws. Yet, the government can send S.E.A.L.s to do illegal missions in other countries, and then cover up the sinister deeds as classified missions? Something is seriously wrong here.
