Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10
Medal of Honor
The reason the Taliban came after the SEALs was that the team had stumbled across some local people and chose to let them go.
And rather than just shooting them or even tying them up and leaving them somewhere they chose to let the locals go in fear of what the U.S. media would say.
Of course, the lone survivor of the team owes his life to the locals who hid him from the Taliban.

Was I afraid of the liberal media back in the U.S.A? Yes.
Nobody has the special operators backs, and they know it.
America is the most litigious society in the history of the world, and our military the most over lawyered.
He who hesitates is lost.
