This was one of the most professionally executed COIN operations I've seen in my whole life. Why should we "defend" our response when we executed it so professionally & w/ such precision? If this was a COIN operation in another country, the Taj, Oberoi Trident would've been gutted to the ground and hostage kills would've been much higher. The US itself is not that good in counterterrorism- more than 100 Americans were detained by Ayatollah Khomeini and the US couldn't mount a rescue operation & had to wait 4 the Iranians to release them.
