#1 I think it's a "spread the wealth around" thing.

#3 As I suggested earlier, this (Delta and not Seals) might be one of the reasons for McRaven's outburst on the 17th.

#4 ^ Mc Raven should be recalled to active duty and experience the fun of a court’s martial.

#5 Simple field reality. The Unit has cultivated extensive intel links with locals, may even be running assets within the camp. They know the terrain, the people. It wasn't as in and out as a raid in relatively safer Abbotabad.

You need the green, to make a scene.

#6 I had not thought of #3 (but that's why we hired g(r)om). Posting that possibility to butcher paper and office wall this afternoon for further monitoring and comment.

Dankie my moshe.
