Hrm, a little place called Son Tay comes to mind.

Yep, and in reference to Gargamels point about assassination we could also cite the Yamamoto shoot down. Those P-38 pilots had to turn their planes into flying gas cans to reach hundreds of miles behind enemy lines, fight through a strong Zero fighter escort over an enemy held island with no support and and no chance of rescue if they have to ditch or bail.

Operation Vengeance began on 18th April 1943, when 18 aircraft led by Major John W. Mitchell, went out to find the plane carrying Yamamoto. At 9.30 am the US pilot, Thomas G. Lamphier, identified Yamamoto's aircraft approaching Kahili Field on Bougainville. Two bursts from his guns hit the target and the aircraft crashed into the jungle.
Pilot is a distant relative of mine.

Default Biden's reaction

Looking at the pictures of POTUS courageously watching the live video in the Situation Room, I get this strong feeling that the pizza boxes were photo-shopped out.

I wonder if the SEALs had killed 25 guys in a row with no loss, whether Obama would have used a nuclear strike.
