the CIA has backup plans for that sort of thing…and probably air support as well…if it went bad or slipped out of control, the Pakis would know and back off…the US is extremely protective of our Seal teams…but overall, there was huge risk involved, I agree…if 24 Seals get iced…it’s just unthinkable IMO
Carter never lived down the failed rescue of the Iranian hostages.
