That was a tough situation. I don't know what was the right call. The huge mistake was not pulling all embassy staff out well before it escalated to that point. The signs were there, they ignored them. Once the embassy was overtaken it was too late. Of course they tried a rescue mission but that was clusterfrick from the get go that till this day I believe was no more than a publicity stunt. Not true attempt to rescue them.
