If the US military puts their most elite unit in a slow moving shit box, and puts them in that shit box with Afghan soldiers who are nowhere near as trained and could jeopardize the SEAL's mission, then it is easy to understand.
As an civilian who knows nothing about the military, not even I would stick such a well trained unit in a slow moving target along side with Afghan soldiers. They would have the best training, the best weapons, the best intel, and the best transportation, and would not travel with anyone who could jeopardize so much as one of them going to take a piss. It just doesn't make any sense to fly a slow moving craft full of your very BEST soldiers through hostile territory. But call me crazy.
Maybe they did. I'm just saying it doesn't make a lot of sense. You wouldn't transport 20 million dollars cash in a Lincoln Town Car full of Mexicans and drive it through the ghetto when you could transport it in a armored truck. Just sayin.
