05.09.2025 15:16 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Reading the NYT piece, so much feels off, and it's written for drama rather than accuracy. A Tier 1 mission like this would always have clear ROE, and comms protocols. The catalogue of errors, while possible, seems way out of character for a well-rehearsed mission by skilled operators.
