    Yeah I agree with your assessment for the most part. Where I disagree is on the mercs. The reason they only made a half-hearted attempt was because Trump had lost interest.

      absolute freaks of mercs they were too. Going ahead with the mission without getting paid. Just in it for the love of the game.

      Mercs in the middle ages would burn down Rome if they didn’t get paid. These guys tried the mission anyway, failed, six of got shot to death, and the rest ended up in Venezuelan jail.
