At the risk of turning this into an international slanging match, and without wishing to show disrespect to anyone who lost their lives...

Anyone noticed how most US SOF operations in the public domain are 'glorious failures'

Mogadishu
Desert One
The Vietnam Prison Camp rescue where the camp was empty (Son Tay?)
The Maguez (sic) incident in the 70's.

How about a TV programme about THE MOST SUCCESSFUL SF MISSION in recent times-

The rescue of the Royal Irish from the West Side Boys in Sierra Leone by 22 SAS, SBS, FAA, RN, Para Reg and JSFAW.

With due respect to Tpr Brad Tinnion.
