There were a lot of people killed for something that was only "billed" as a military attack. Seems pretty military. One of the allies was being pretty well cut up and was begging for the western allies to do something to draw troops away from them, but we weren't able then to mount a full fledged invasion. Their mission was to get in, shoot them up and get out. We found out a lot of our tactics and equipment didn't work out. It helped us out later. Every one in the raid did the best he could.
