That's because they encountered more resistance than they thought they would encounter do to shitty intelligence
U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations.
As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists.
The mission objective was botched. If it was about killing as many as possible then it was a success. The buck stops with the chump in chief
