We lost a SEAL, killed dozens of citizens, a very expensive aircraft, and attained information that was already publicly for over a decade, all while the opposition was supposedly tipped off. Even Obama was wary of going through with the raid, and adding to that, Trump couldn't bother to be in the situation room during the whole disaster.
Okay, and the same thing can be said about missions carried out under the Obama administration. Pinning the outcomes of missions on any president is absurd. Unforeseeable shit happens. I don't think Obama expected to lose a stealth aircraft in the Pakistani raid that led to the death of Osama. Plus, on the fair side of things Ospreys are always crashing. If you lived with me for a month you will literally see Ospreys just crash all over the range. Of course I'm not justifying anything I'm just stating a fact about the CV and MV-22s.
