Incredibly risky decision to conduct this mission and it's pretty risky to publish this account if DPRK really did not know about it because they're still going to want to retaliate. It also seems pretty stupid to have a bunch of non coms conduct a mission in enemy territory under a communications blackout. Was there not a single officer to command the mission on the ground? The consequences of failure could literally have been nuclear war.
