I was surprised the US would allow the Yemeni establishment any information about their mission at all so I did a bit more digging about this. The official account is that the rescue force was compromised approximately 100 metres from the objective by a terrorist who was outside to relieve himself. He was alerted, mid-stream, by dogs barking at the SEAL lead element. The delay was no more than 10 minutes but during that time a terrorist was observed by a drone to enter the building the hostages were kept in, then running back out and escaping with an unknown number of fellow jihadists. Additionally, according to officials, Mr Korkie died on the Ospray during the exfil, and Mr Somers died when the aircraft was landing on USS Makin Island.

For the US Navy, yes, ST-6/DEVGRU is the premier Tier 1 unit. For the US Army, its Delta Force on par with DEVGRU, and then next to Delta, there's the Army's Intelligence Support Activity aka 'The Activity', Task Force Orange, Gray Fox......the ISA has numerous code names that get switched around. Intelligence Support Activity is regarded as the premier 'special reconnaissance' unit of the US Army, but they are classed as 'Tier 1' and stand alongside DEVGRU & Delta in the SOCOM chain.

I’ve never understood why during raids by special forces, the hostage takers don’t just kill the hostages to make the mission a failure. There always seem to be a small amount of time where SOF groups have to proceed tactically and use explosives or small gunfire to proceed to the target, which results in their immediate presence being known to the Opfor.

This happens frequently. And there's a good chance one of these guys was DOA but unreported as such If you read enough mission debriefs, you'll notice a statistically supernatural tendency for casualties to become mid-evac fatalities. That is, reports are often written to cushion the blow of fatalities, falsely suggesting a time of death "on the return trip" rather than at the incident site in some combination of denial, ass-covering, coping mechanism for those involved, and a misplaced sense of greater dignity if the casualty at least got out alive for a time.

@jeremycahill4662 2 жыл бұрын

"Thoughts and prayers" rhetoric aside, if the US govt is responding to your abduction and ransom with boots on the ground, that means your life isn't particularly valuable. An entire 8-man SEAL squad is worth 800k USD in death benefits payable by the US govt, total. The mistake made by ransom-takers is placing a price per head on the order of magnitude of millions rather than tens of thousands.

Bad planning, poor execution and faulty intelligence! I would expect better from the seals! You should be ashamed, you as much got them men killed as if, you shot them yourself. I respect and honor our service men and women, but damn that was awful and 2 innocent people are dead because of it, I hope you can live with that.

The two hostages and the two murdered innocent Yemeni civilians would still be alive if the US had simply paid the ransom for the release of the hostages.

@WheelchairOperator 2 жыл бұрын

Doubtful, you really think monetary gain was their only motivation, and they’d simply let them go? Had the ransom been paid on behalf of the US, that would’ve likely incentivized them further to keep them as hostages for more absurd ransom requests.

They probably spent the same amount of money on the operations instead of just paying

If we paid them they would keep doing it cause they know it’s a easy dollar. Have to stand your ground somewhere

That’s what having no backbone looks like. Doing that will only add on to the problem in the long run. The problem was having Yemeni Troops involved. I’m sure many of them were corrupt and I’m also sure one of them was spotted and that’s why the insurgents were ready.
