The Combatant Commander can't make the decision on his own to rescue one of his guys? It's not like this is a hard decision; the promise is "We WILL come for you."

It's a given that every person involved in the rescue was acting heroicly, and that needs to be acknowledged.

But to pretend this was a hard call is nonsense.
