Not sure I totally agree with you, Evalu8er. I was in Washington when the attack went in, and was mixing with quite a few people in uniform who, in the immediate aftermath, had quite a lot to say, (as you may well imagine), about what went wrong.
In my opinion, (from what I heard at the time), the major problem (of many, many major problems with the Tehran op.) was micromanagement from the Pentagon. The man on the spot was not allowed to make any decisions. They all came from someone sitting in a conference room way back in Washington. Anyone who's been involved in the field in something even 1/100th as complicated would agree this was a recipe for disaster.
