I have noticed that there has been no specific unit identification of the guys that whacked Baghdadi and to me that is a good thing.
So far it seems to be attributed to the Delta Force, which the Pentagon says does not exist and "the Rangers"
Which Rangers? The New York Rangers? The National Park Rangers? Roger's Rangers? The latter are a little long in the tooth to have pulled that one off.
In short, a unit has not been identified and if it ever is it will likely come from a Congressional leak.
Joe Biden identified SEAL Team Six as the guys that got Bin Laden and it eventually cost us the lives of 30 of our guys.
FDR covered Hornet for its part in the Dolittle Raid by saying the raid came from our secret base in Shangri La.
Personally if I were Trump I'd tell CNN the raid was pulled off by Girl Scout Troop 653 of Crystal, Colorado. CNN would go nuts trying to find a Girl Scout troop in a ghost town in the middle of nowhere and look like the fools they are.
Of course the 'He's not presidential enough' set would go ape shit if Trump said, "The fairy fucking godmother did it!" Personally I would laugh like hell.
One thing, though. Trump tipped off Putin with good reason. He wanted to avoid any possibility of a Russian/American conflict in the area. Please note he did NOT notify Congress because he knew damned good and well it would be leaked and Baghdadi's boys would have been tipped off and our guys slaughtered.
Trump has already said this. He didn't notify Congress because he didn't want any of our guys killed.
It's a pretty sorry state when a Congress people would let their hatred of the President permit them to have our troops slaughtered to embarrass him. It's de facto treason, a capital crime and should be treated as such. ANY congress person that leaks anything that leads to the injury or death of any US troop deserves the needle.
I'm going with the Girl Scouts of Crystal, Colorado for one hundred, Alex.
Update: Word is it was Delta Force (a unit the Pentagon says doesn't exist) and the 75th Rangers supplied some of the muscle. In my opinion they should not have identified anyone involved.
