So it's movie talk for you to say we could have sent in a strike force to extract those guys.. The honest truth is there was nothing that could have been done.. Now I would ask why those guys didn't have any weapons in there so they could fight back..
The reason we had Delta Forces in Italy was for missions exactly like this one, they are a rapid strike force. In fact the Delta Force troops had loaded in helicopters and were waiting on the airpad "1 hour" after the first call for help came out, they were told to stand down. To say they couldn't make a different in a fire fight is insane and to say they shouldn't be sent in harms way is even more insane. The Obama Administration did nothing except start working on a cover story and let them die.
If the ex-seals who died didn't have weapons how did they fight back for 7 hours, didn't you read the report that the machine guns they were firing as covered with blood indicating they continued fighting even after being wounded.
Lumpster sounds like your trying out for a cabinet position in Obama Administration, he would love your chain of thought and view on things.
