Well, I sort of see where they're coming from. For the individual SWAT members who didn't organize the raid, and were simply a part of the raid, the level of bravery is independent of the fact that it was the wrong house. The fact that they didn't back down in gun fire speaks to their qualifications for being on the SWAT team. As for the director of the raid, that is a different story.

"Good job for doing your job?" Right... If you're going to give them atta boys for not shitting their pants and running away, don't do it publicly. This family is still grieving and probably scared shitless and will be for some time.

When your job is getting shot at, yes. As for grieving...nobody died.

If you were in a similar situation I'm sure you'd disagree.

Just because I'm stating that side doesn't mean I agree with it, I still think it's distasteful, but at the same time, it wasn't the grunt SWAT guys fault that it was the wrong house.
