    The correct answer is Navy S.E.A.L. The Navy S.E.A.L. (Sea, Air, and Land) is a Special Forces branch that specializes in unconventional warfare, counter-terrorism, and other high-risk missions.

    • Marcus Luttrell

    • Erik Krueger

    • Mike Murphy

    Correct Answer
    A. Marcus Luttrell
    Explanation
    Marcus Luttrell is the correct answer because he is the Navy S.E.A.L. who survived the mission. The other options, Matt Axelson, Erik Krueger, and Mike Murphy, do not match the description of the person who survived the mission.

    Who gave away the group's position?

    • The Taliban

    • Afgan Shepards

    • Erik Kreuger

    • Recon Plane

    Correct Answer
    A. Afgan Shepards
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Afghan Shepherds. Afghan Shepherds are likely to have given away the group's position because they are local inhabitants and may have knowledge of the area, making it easier for them to identify and report the group's presence to the enemy. The Taliban, Erik Kreuger, and the Recon Plane are not mentioned in the question and therefore not relevant to the answer.

    • Osama Bin Laden

    • Abu Nidal

    • Ayman Al Zawahiri

    • Ahmad Shah

    Correct Answer
    A. Ahmad Shah
    Explanation
    Ahmad Shah is the correct answer because the question asks about the terrorist they were trying to capture, implying that the answer should be the name of the specific terrorist being referred to. The other options (Osama Bin Laden, Abu Nidal, Ayman Al Zawahiri) are well-known terrorists, but they are not the specific terrorist mentioned in the question.

  • 8. 

    Which was not an advantage the Taliban had?

    • Knowledge of the Terrain

    • Many More Troops

    • Air Support

    • A Good Battle Plan

    Correct Answer
    A. Air Support
    Explanation
    The Taliban did not have the advantage of air support. This means that they did not have access to aircraft or helicopters to provide them with aerial surveillance, transportation, or the ability to launch airstrikes on their enemies. This would have put them at a disadvantage compared to their opponents who had access to air support, as it would have limited their ability to gather intelligence, move quickly and efficiently, and launch attacks from the air.
