GRP 135-Wherever you go, go with all your heart: A Special Missions Operator at war - We have a very special guest on for this week’s podcast. Joining me on today's episode is retired, Sergeant Major Jamey Caldwell. SGM Caldwell began his career as an Army Ranger before he went to selection to join the Army’s Special Missions Unit. On September 11th, 2001 he was forward deployed overseas. Within the coming weeks and months, his unit would be amongst the very first Americans to enter into Afghanistan. 

 They were tasked with killing Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden was tracked to the Tora Bora cave complex which is apart of the Spin Ghar mountain range in eastern Afghanistan. Caldwell would deploy into combat 14 times over the following 14 years in the war against terrorism. We discussed selection, leadership, mindset, and many other topics. Enjoy. You can learn about the battle of Tora Bora from the Special Missions commander on the ground "Dalton Fury" in his book "Kill Bin Laden".

There Is More To The Viktor Bout Trade Than Meets The Eye - A Son of the New American Revolution

In the early stages of the US operation in Afghanistan in 2001, Osama bin Laden was cornered in the Tora Bora region near the border with Pakistan. But the Bush administration was already distracted planning its irrelevant and costly invasion of Iraq. There were actually more journalists than US and British ground troops around Tora Bora as bin Laden slipped over the border in December where he remained until he was gunned down in May of 2011.

This is from the NYT review of the book The Rise And Fall Of Osama Bin Laden by Peter Bergen.

Bergen demonstrates how the allied forces missed their best opportunity to capture bin Laden at Tora Bora in the months after 9/11. American and British ground forces were at one point outnumbered by journalists, he observes, and highly trained units available nearby were never deployed, out of a misplaced fear of repeating the mistakes of the Soviets. Meanwhile, as bin Laden was escaping Tora Bora, the Pentagon under Donald Rumsfeld was busy planning a war against Saddam Hussein, who had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. Bergen rightly says: “It was one of the most spectacular misjudgments in U.S. military history.”

Indeed. The Bush administration was characterized by the number and magnitude of “spectacular misjudgments“ it made.
