"The first attempt, which took place near Jalalabad, in eastern Afghanistan, was aborted because the White House could not confirm intelligence reports about where the hostages were. SEAL Team 6 was reportedly in the air heading toward the target, but had to return to base.
Less than 24 hours later, President Obama approved the second rescue mission, and the team arrived at the area to extract the hostages but were instead met by enemy fire."

Hyperbolic title. SEAL Team 6 didn't fail. Obama and his intel apparatus failed.

When a mission is a failure the troops are at fault. When a mission is successful, the bosses did a great job. It's shitty, toxic leadership but sometimes how the cards play out.

JSOC tier 1, Direct control for "go no go" comes straight from Joint Chiefs and POTUS, they don't get tasking or fall under area SOTFS or area commanders like CENTCOM,don't even need to talk them.
