It has just been revealed that a Navy Seal was killed in the rescue of an American doctor that was kidnapped in Afghanistan. I seem to remember that during the Bengazi attack that when Defense Secretary Panetta was asked about why we allowed several hours to transpire without providing any military response to the overrun consulate, he responded about the need to evaluate the risk involved in placing more people in "harms way" by providing the backup help so desperately  needed by our Ambassador and others in the compound.  I agree that tough decisions must be made when "life" or "death" situations arise, but whose lives do we sacrifice when decisions like these must be made.
