This is a sad state of affairs. This guy was from my area here in Peoria,IL. I'm also a Gulf War veteran.
I've been telling people this for the past 2 years.
This mission got green lighted way too soon out of intel targets that have been on the radar for quite some time. They are Al Queda targets in Africa.
There is no blame on the Obama administration for this at all. There is a huge list of compiled targets that are on the books at all times. These are not mission ready programs. It's just like identifying which targets are possible for future missions.
This target should have been moved into an active assessment program for more intel gathering and then have a laid out strategy for an OP. This takes months.
Trump took one of these out of the playbook and threw it at the Generals and said go do this now basicallly.....with no intel backing or current assets on the ground to asses it. That's why it got fucked up.
Trump is a complete douchebag and this young Seals life is on his shoulders...
