I have to say this though. We never send rounds at an enemy without knowing what is going on on the ground...

BUT, the guys on the ground were in constant communication with resources, not to mention the drones flying over which give a view of the ground so detailed that its hard to believe its real. We have sent aid in Afghan where the rules of engagement are nearly as right. Also, we had a tier one, which is Army Delta Force and SEAL Team Six who are the most skilled fighters on earth, in place that could've been inserted fairly easily. By ground or high altitude jump, they do it all the time.

It's just hard for me to believe we didn't send help because of a murky picture of what was happening. We've sent help to our people with MUCH less of an understanding of what's going on. Delta and DEVGRU are straight up killers and they hardly ever take any casualties, even against very well trained Al-Qaeda. In my opinion, they could have taken out the bad guys within 30 mins to an hour depending on ground conditions. But hell, we didn't even have to send them in! Remember me mentioning the CIA officers leading targets? They did that for aircraft, especially heavily armed and precise AC-130 Spectre gunships. They have 25mm rounds, a bigger cannon, and the a giant 105mm gun, all capable of taking out the targets on the ground that night.

All of this is why this just makes me sick. This same kind of hesitation has nearly killed and killed many of us, and why Marine SGT Dakota Meyer, a Kentuckian, was forced to do what he did to earn his Medal of Honor.

Don't leave people behind my ass....WE don't leave our people behind. Our government does.
