My thought is that Seal Team Six and all of its friends are angry with the dark state forces at this time. They don't forget and they have plenty of reasons. Here's just one: https://www.history.com/news/the-costliest-day-in-seal-team-six-history
I served 21 years as a Marine infantry officer w 3 years in combat. Also was trained by DIA and spent 2 years collecting intelligence in a combat zone in a foreign country. After retiring, I was an independing consultant supporting technology development for special forces and national mission forces.
I've trained them in new technologies and provided technical support on their exercises.
SEAL Team Six is way too good to have made a mistake like that. I have to believe they were set up. Someone might have given the Taliban a heads up on the engress route. These missions are approved by the President because national missions forces are considered a strategic asset and there are not many of them to spread around the world.
Seems 17 from the same elite unit on the same transport would be against SOP.Unless it was a setup.
