    My personal, & admittedly rather atypical & outlying, thoughts on the Vietnam War notwithstanding, you'd think we wouldn't NEED that many bombs in order to save just 16 people.

      It was about retrieving the enemy documents as much as it was saving the 16 men.

      Originally it was a diversions mission. Something to distract the nva and vc from a certain area. The recovery of the Intel made it necessary to retrieve the team.

      All that matters is they saved them . Reasons and methods be dammed. Those men got back and that’s all I care about . Besides it shouldn’t surprise you at all . There wasn’t anything like the smart weapons we have today .. and .. well the more ordnance used the more money the military industrial complex made lol .

      Not so. They sent a four ship of F-16C's to strafe the militants, thinking that it was a protest about a video. Later it was thought to be an actual terrorist attack. Marines and contractors were called up from Rota Spain, and there was no in country team to help the Americans in Benghazi which was over in under an hour. Not every democrat is a traitor.

    It's a shame. At minute 5 of the video, a CH 47 is shown on screen as your narrator is talking about the CH 53 Sea Stallion. I would think that accuracy is important to the point of this video.
