> The secret nature of Ghost Murmur was “basically why everyone’s been so cagey about how [the airman] was actually found,” the first source said. Or an excellent fictional coverup for a failed Isfahan raid, not that such a thing would ever be considered by rational officers.

Smells like absolute BS to me.

Murmur BS aside - holy shit, they had to abandon two C-130 class planes because they got stuck in the mud? And lost an A-10 Warthog on top of the original F-15? This looks like a massive fuckup!
