Bring a plan up to the national security council and the president to sign off on this type of operation, knowing that theres a risk. i mean, we rubenize these operations, nicole, that theyre successes, that we do them all the time. the reality is any one of these could go wrong and we could lose american service members. this is the risk that our special forces members take on our behalf all the time and these are the risks that a president has to weigh, and clearly, this will have a positive i...
