Imagine being told you’re on some dangerous mission in ally territory, some crazy black ops mission to defend a “US politician in danger”, and you’re not being told what the danger is, just that the UK might turn on them somehow.
So you and your little black ops squad are all riled up, being told you’re the best of the best, sent out to do some crazy black ops shit and defend Americans overseas.
You and your squad have some crazy tactical mission with the best gear, fly out of some helicopter off a carrier, grab the target, use non lethal as much as possible, swoop in bring him to safety, high fives all around and the American is saved, no lives lost.
Then later you hear he was just some pedo who almost got in trouble for being a fucking pedo
Imagine how those dudes would feel… You went from telling your family you do the crazy secret stuff to defend America that you can’t talk about, then your kids are growing up like “wait dad did you save that pedo? Weren’t you in UK at that time?”
Okay for their own sanity, I hope they knew they were protecting pedo assets from the start. It’d be a lot easier to shrug and says, “sure, I’ll exfiltrate the politician who may or may not be a pedo but that’s for American courts to decide” than it would be to think you’re being a hero and find out you werent told the truth

It sounds like it was the Marines that do embassy security who raided the house and arrested the person.

Oops, gun went off. 30 times.
Damn, I hate it when a pedophile grabs my gun and shoots himself in the back of the head multiple times.
Mechanical failures happen. And its rare that anyone sees it when it happens. What can you do.
Reload and collect more data.
theres a reason why they used crayon eaters instead.
They probably fed those marines some crayons to distract them from the moral conundrum.
