The headquarters could see that the TEAM was encircled by bad guys and that the enemy was too close to the SEALs to use Air Force close air support

I question this. I think the problem is that either the Seals didn't have the capability to call in JDAM bombs, or the AF didn't have them available. They are accurate to within 10 feet. In this desperate of a situation, I think they should have been used.
