Not in terms of a gutsy raid like this where the risk is so great. Of course, as long as we are fighting, there are going to be heroic actions, but we more or less over-power these days, with occasional hairy situations that are either small-scale, or quickly put to rest with air power.

WWII had clashes of massive forces where occasionally US soldiers might be purposefully put at exceptional risk (like here), or end up over extended or trapped without a sufficient backup to call on. I don't see that these days.

What I do see is massive military suppression, followed by grueling extended anti-partisan/police action.
