During my tenure on the SEAL Teams, every enemy situation we encountered necessitated a slightly different approach, a tweak here and a new technique there. No two targets were ever the same, and each one had its own personality, its own outcome, and its own plan for how we attacked and ultimately executed it. We could never ascertain with 100 percent certainty what the enemy’s intentions were or how they would respond, simply because there were just too many variables to consider.
