Wouldn't they have only needed to bring the goat herders along until they established radio contact?

Yeah, that, or they get ~1/2 way to a base or something. Originally Posted by Belloc

Considering his (claimed) experience and background to that event, your comments seems an overly quick dismissal. It also does not seem far off what some others who were close to the event have indicated. Originally Posted by R0CKETMAN

It has been awhile since I read the book; WRT the radio issues, was it established directly after insertion that their comms were down?
In any case, no comms coverage is not neccessarily an abort criteria. Usually recon teams operate with "transmission windows", ie pre-planned time slots or intervals where they need to report in. That means that there is time to shift position in order to establish radio contact, or set up a different antenna.
With regards to bringing them along, it would be a question of whether or not they thought it likely that the goat herders would report them to local ACM. But yeah, they could have, but they decided to continue with the mission.It's not about surviving, it's about winning! -

Continue with the mission? The movie makes it out as if they abandoned the mission as soon as they were compromised. Is that not accurate? Originally Posted by Arctic1
