Stupidity: The Seal team is sent to apprehend an HVT. Their insertion didn't require a long hike. Usually on long range recons where Seals walk 20+ kms and don't fix to get into a gun fight they don't wear plate carriers with ballistic plates due to the weight and extra body heat generated. However on this op their journey was short, and they knew they were going to get contact inside a structure where getting shot is more likely since it's close quarters battle, but they didn't wear plate carriers.

SEAL Team (2017)
1 stupidity in Payback
Starring: Max Thieriot, David Boreanaz, Neil Brown Jr., Jessica Pare
Continuity mistake: Six people jump out of a C-17 and Blackburn and Mandy are aboard the aircraft. The next shot shows the SEAL team in the air with parachutes. Then the scene goes to an air base in Incirlik, Turkey. Blackburn and Mandy are there. How did that airplane get from 200 miles inside Syria to a Turkish airbase before the SEAL team even hit the ground? (00:17:00)
Rolling Dark - S1-E9
Question: So they get the scientist on a four-seater, single-prop plane, and then send them from Siberia to Afghanistan. That's by the route from the briefing about 1800 miles. They fly with gear down. Is that possible? (00:06:47)

Answer: Yes. They would have to land 3-4 times for refuelling. The plane could fly with the wheels down, but the additional drag slows the plane and increases fuel consumption.
