Remember when a Navy psychologist basically admitted at a NATO conference that they program soldiers with psychopathic tendencies for assassin missions?

Navy Denies Charge it Trains Assassins on July 7, 1975 at nytimes.com:
https://www.nytimes.com/1975/07/07/archives/navy-denies-charge-it-trains-assassins.html

WASHINGTON, July 6 (Reuters)—A United States Navy spokesman categorically denied today a London newspaper report of a program in which the Navy allegedly prepared convicted murderers to carry out assassinations.

The report in The Sunday Times was based on an Interview with a Navy staff psychologist, Lieut. Comdr. Thomas Narut, in Oslo, Norway, where he delivered a paper on anxiety and stress at a conference sponsored by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Dr. Narut was quoted by a reporter, Peter Watson, as saying that the Navy training involved forcing men who were selected for their “passive‐aggressive personalities” to watch Increasingly horrific films of killing and maiming so as to generate detachment toward violence.

According to the newspaper, Dr. Narut said that Navy psychologists had picked men for commando‐type operations from among submarine crews, paratroops and “convicted murderers from military prisons.”

Dr. Narut said that the training took place at the Navy Neuropsychiatric Laboratories in San Diego and at the United States Navy Hospital in Naples, Italy, where the doctor works, according to The Sunday Times.

Asked about the repaint, a Navy spokesman in Washington said that he bad checked with the Naples and San Diego facilities and had “talked to 40 people.”

He said that he could make a categorical denial that men had ever been trained as assassins at either center

Oh man, Marcus Lutrell and the Lone Survivor story is a rabbit hole. If anyone is interested in a deep dive into a nightmare of incompetence and cover-up, I recommend a writer by the name of Ed Darack, who wrote the book Victory Point. In summary, he rode with the guys who did the mop-up after Red Wings went pear-shaped. He was one of the first to really speak out on a national level that Marcus was full of shit. A good interview can be found here, where he talks about Red Wings and Extortion 17, the helicopter crash that killed a good chunk of Seal Team Six.

The big points he made: that massive ambush of hundreds of Taliban was probably a few dudes, maybe 7, points out that their command made critical, baffling mistakes, like flying a MH-47, a massive, loud ass helicopter, into a valley where the enemy was dug in and expect not to be noticed, not really making a plan, and more. Then there was the incident of not shooting the civilians, which was a whole different can of worms that led to a lot of questions about the truth of what happened. He also dug into the fact that many of these books by Seals, especially Lone Survivor, were ghost-written. In summary, the SEALs talked to the authors, gave basic details, and to a disturbing degree, make shit up or puff up their patriotism and their life stories. From the same website as the interview, and with contributions by Darack, is a great article I definitely recommend if you want to know the other side of Lone Survivor.

This part really sums it up though:
Guy writing the article asks these questions

Gets answer saying: talk to my agent. Guy asks for Marcus to stand by his words.
Spoiler: This actually happened.
Tl;dr, Lutrrell remarkably survived a nightmare scenario, but the entire operation was a bad idea, it didn't work, and the Navy and SOCOM used him as a prop for a heroic tale in order to cover up they fucked up super bad.

Also, people during GWOT might not have been in the right state of mind. Here's an excerpt from Tom Satterly's book "All Secure." during the surge in the Middle East. KFC doesn't sound like a good COIN term to win the hearts and minds of an Islamic country.
