It was a movie... Pure and simple
Making a mistake is basically the same as not doing a good job.
“And when we got there, I had to agree it was perfect, offering a brilliant angle on the village for the lens, the spotting scope and the bullet. It had sensational all-around vision. If [Shah] and his gang of villains were there, we’d get him.” - See more at: www.onviolence.com...
Remember these were real guys who were really killed in a intense firefight, when you say they were not doing a good job its like a slap in the face to their memory.
And once anyone started up towards them, if they moved they would be seen. So they hunkered in place and hoped they would go around them or not see them.
If they had done a good job there wouldn't have been an intense firefight which they got killed in.

So maybe they made the mistake of choosing a spot that was not very perfect at all. Choosing a spot you can't retreat from seems kinda stupid.
I am sure the real warriors here have another excuse.

Please, it's just a propaganda movie to get more people to enlist. And this Lutrell guy is trying just a little bit too hard to share his story.
you dont seem to have the depth of thought to understand that this was more than just a movie about killing "rag-heads".
