    US Strength: 12 Seals, 8 pilots, additional helo crew, 2 Apache Gunships, 2 Blackhawks, 2 Chinooks

    Taliban strength: 8-10, or 70-100 (lmao wut)

    Result: Insurgent Strategic victory

    US casualties: 19 dead, 1 helo shot down

    Taliban casualties: Unknown, highest estimate 35

    Ok. Taking that on its face, how you gonna have two fucking gunships and a dozen SEALs, but ONLY maybe get around 35 and get everyone on the ground owned?
