Eh

Eh, the US still has a pretty good batting average overall.

Maybe the dude had just wandered out into the desert for a little alone time just before the raid started.

Shit happens.

Public expectations are unrealistic. This raid was no worse than a wash and not really a loss, unless there was some really important locations still set in the lost GPS units. It looks like they did some damage and got out with no losses.
