I’ve noticed that a lot of wingnuts have a comprehension of military strategy which basically equates showing up with winning. That’s the nuttiness of the ‘They could have just gotten guys there!’ as though Special Forces guys are magicians.

Even if there had been the capability to get them there, four guys with handguns, no matter how well trained, are going to have to pull off miracles to not just die there. And four more special forces guys dead is not really a good outcome.

yep…they kinda forget all about Mogadishu.
