[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2388315, member: 8377"] While it can be instructive to debate the merits of the decision in hindsight; when we all know what consequences occurred as a result, remember it is an academic exercise. It should also be pointed out that the command structure within spec ops units from all services are often contrary to what one would see in a "big" military unit. Often times in the planning and execution of operations the rank structure is less important than having equal input from each member of a team. It does not surprise me that a vote was taken, and that the final decision was backed by the team leader. While decisions are the responsibility of the team leader, a great amount of latitude is given to the individual team members to plan, act and give input in all phases of an operation. Whether or not it was the right decision; or if we think we would have done it differently, is ultimately a luxury we have by being able to view the situation from a distant vantage point, separated from the event. In speculating on what would have been the better course of action keep in mind what lane you are in and realize that straying out of it distorts your perception. [/QUOTE]
