One thing I am thankful for is no member of the seal team was hurt. That is something at least .. I don't know the current members of that team but they always were the most elite and most dedicated of all the service branch. They are always in harms way and answer the call of duty when ordered. They don't make political decisions, they serve and protect with their lives. Most of the other branches call those guys the archangels, because when you are pinned down or captured , their normal job is to go in and get you out alive. That is what they normally do. This time it wasn't about capture but command gave the order not them.
