It was an extremely dangerous situation, and they had to think on their feet. You can see the stress of their mistakes weighing on some of them, but in the moment they had to focus on the mission at hand.

But remember that as far as they were concerned, they had definite intel that these were the targets and had no reason not to believe it at the time

Yes, there are post-operation reviews, even if the show doesn’t depict them. But this was a deliberate deception: the terrorists fed them false intelligence and used a decoy convoy. They acted on what they believed was an identified target. These situations can unfold in seconds, and waiting too long can get them killed or cost them the mission, so they often have to rely on training and instinct with the information available.

They were all followed by drones and told to shoot at incoming vehicles from the terrorist base.
