In June 2005, U.S. Navy SEALs prepared to decapitate al-Qaida leader Sharmark, who was entrenched in Afghanistan.
In order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, they sent a reconnaissance team of 4 people before the operation.
However, during the reconnaissance, they encountered the famous scene of special operations and were discovered by 3 Afghans herding sheep.
To ensure that their whereabouts were not revealed, they took control of the three men. But as for how to deal with the three shepherds, the squad made a difficult decision.
If they are released, the action may be exposed, bringing a heavy price.
If not released, long-staying flocks will attract others to come.
If they shoot directly, they will be imprisoned for the massacre of civilians. And after the slaughter, because the shepherd did not return on time, the other party will also notice.
For a moment, there seemed to be no proper solution.
In the end, the four naively took the vote and chose to release the four shepherds who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy in order to avoid the crime.
In order to save their lives, these shepherds knelt on the ground and promised never to reveal the news.
However, the naïve 4-man squad believed them and remained hidden nearby throughout. Unexpectedly, these three shepherds were not authentic, and they revealed the news to the local armed forces as soon as they went back, attracting a large number of base armed forces to encircle and suppress the 4-person squad.
In the end, 3 SEALs were killed and 1 survived.
And in order to rescue the 4 of them, a gunship carrying 15 special forces was also shot down and crashed by the enemy. In the end, because of the naivety of this team, a total of 11 SEALs and 4 special forces were killed.
Of course, the U.S. military paid a greater price for al-Qaida in retaliation, killing more than 600 al-Qaida members in total.
If you were one of these four SEALs, what would you do against those three shepherds?
