I hope they've figured out how to deal with the shepherds and their goats.


Goats aren't out roaming at night when these raids are going to go down (JSOC in IRQ style).

I know that's a reference to Lone Survivor but this won't be teams on a walk about looking for someone in a village. This will be extremely surgical raids developed by drone/signals/human intelligence

I also read a book about a team of British special forces in the 1st gulf war and they were tasked with locating scud missile launchers. The did their real work at night and holed up during the day. Lo and behold, what happens, a herd of goats and a shepherd boy wander up on their hiding place and it winds up with them running from the Iraqi army and getting caught.

When I saw Lone Survivor I just thought to myself, not again.
