There are a some critical flaws in planning and portrayal of a recon operation - 1) Never wear tan khakis when doing a jungle infiltration by night, 2) Don't let a CIA analyst/agent ignore an experienced operator on an op, 3) Take comms equipment on operations 4) have contingency plans, 5) three men with rifles and two with pistols is insufficient fire power if anything goes wrong...especially if man is 48 or older and couldn't complete a PT, 6) Use locals not a 6'2 white American for reconnaissance in an armed camp of 50 people-less conspicuous, 7) someone needs to have your six if you don't come out. There are teams better suited to this than an untrained agent.
