Today we are joined by David Philipps and Matt Cole the authors of ther NY Times article about SEAL Team 6's botched raid into North Korea. This conversation delves into a significant SEAL Team Six mission that aimed to plant a listening device in North Korea, exploring the political context, operational planning, execution challenges, and the aftermath of the mission. The discussion highlights the complexities of intelligence operations, the risks involved, and the implications for U.S.-North Korea relations, as well as the cultural dynamics within the SEAL community.
