You can’t just lose troops. Not even SF troops.
The claims of hundreds dead etc are not possible. There would need to be 10’s of thousands keeping it quiet. The bases are large but tight. People just don’t disappear unnoticed. The troops on most basis can literally call home often. A captured or killed troop would be known and out via internet and calls almost immediately. They try and lock things down for hours until family is notified, and that doesn’t even always work.
