Billy Boy
I obviously knew this wasn't the actual name of who you're referring to and I'm not familiar enough with the material to know who you were referring to so I went ahead and Google'd "Billy Boy" for the hell of it. Turns out I've been wasting money all these years on inferior products; I never knew Billy Boy was America's best condom.
On a side note, I actually did attempt to figure out who you were talking about. Were you referring to Garrison, Ace? And just going off of what you said, wouldn't the operation cease being "low profile" once the first chopper goes down? So, if we had an AC-130, or even armor, in the area what was the reason in holding them back?

Negative. William Jefferson Clinton.

It ceased being a low profile (or should have) when we started going into "Indian Country" to grab people.

They were requested by the commander on the ground and the civilian leadership failed them - utterly - by denying the request. Therefore, they were not in the area and not available to provide support during the 2 extraction missions. This directly led to 9/11, if one believes Osama Bin Laden.
