The army is full of very competent people regardless of who's in charge for the last 4 years, it's not like they start from scratch at every new administration. And most of them just like to blow shit up regardless of the moral aspect of it, as we've seen in the past
I certainly don't doubt the competence of the US army, but the fact that they spent only minutes on active SEAD bombing raids to enable this operation suggests that it wasn't just cool tech or super competent SOF operators that truly enabled this operation.
