Comedy gold is what happened.
Day one:
>SEALs fuck up what should have been a routine beach landing because they tried doing it in the middle of a thunderstorm
>Rangers plan was to literally just land a C-130 in the airport
>enemy sees through our cunning plan, waits until the planes are over Grenadian airspace and then blocks the runway with trash
>Rangers have to nigger-rig a paradrop using whatever chutes are on hand
>finally get boots on the ground
>enemy attacks with APCs
>entire Ranger battalion has only two or three obsolete recoilless rifles, in a time when even actual paratroopers carried multiple LAWs per platoon
>finally take the airport and clear the runway, allowing the main force to land
>Rangers recon team is sent to the university
>their route is a four mile stretch of road with three forks, they're supposed to go straight at each one
>Rangers somehow still manage to get lost, end up running into an enemy patrol and dying
>second recon team manages to reach the university
>"we're sorry, but your students are on another campus"
>US intelligence didn't even know that there was more than one campus
>main campus is in the town to the south that they've been circling around all day
>SEALs get sent to take a radio station
>OP image happens
>SEALs get sent to rescue a hostage
>get surrounded and pinned down by infantry and APCs
>CAS called in multiple times, completely fails to destroy their armor
>reinforcements take a full day to arrive despite being two fucking miles away through US-controlled territory
>marines try to assault the enemy's main military base
>plan boils down to "throw a bunch of choppers at the enemy and pray that they don't have AAA"
>they have fucktons of AAA
>survivors call for CAS to hit the AA guns, which are now firing at the infantry
>CAS instead bombs a hospital on the other end of town
>Delta and Rangers try to take the prison
>plan boils down to "throw a bunch of choppers at the enemy and pray that they don't have AAA"
>they have fucktons of AAA
>also apparently nobody thought to check topographical maps to confirm that the prison wasn't, say, on a 300 foot hill with nowhere for the Blackhawks to come down
<guess what the terrain around the prison looks like
Day two:
>army patrol runs into a "Cuban" (i.e. Grenadian) patrol, gets their shit pushed in
>bombards the nearby village until the Cuban "garrison", which consists entirely of unarmed engineers, surrenders
>later that day an army platoon with artillery support ambushes and kills a few sentries at a munitions depot
>US spins this as a great victory against the nonexistent Cuban special forces
>Rangers finally reach the main campus
>get their asses kicked by campus security
>remember, these guys are supposed to be an elite special forces unit
>find only half of the students
>"we're sorry, but the rest of your students are on another campus"
>turns out that there's actually three campuses, seriously how fucking hard is it to look at a map before you plan an invasion
>entire Ranger squad gets left behind on the way out
>decides to steal a boat to get back rather than walk two miles to the airport
Day three:
<day begins with marines rolling through the main campus, only to find that the Rangers had also forgotten about twenty of the students they were sent to extract
<marine CAS fucks up again, this time they bomb an army HQ
<intel says that troops are massing at a barracks on the southern coast
<US hammers the barracks with artillery and CAS
<by "the barracks" I mean "everything in the area except the barracks"
<Blackhawks approach the barracks
<one of the Blackhawks doesn't stop
<barracks were deserted this whole time
<turns out that the remnants of the Grenadian army had completely disintegrated on the second day
<the US had gone a full day without even noticing
<most of the "combat" during the last 24 hours was either troops freaking out over abandoned defenses and vehicles, or local criminals giving the occupation force shit
