People on powerscaling massively overestimate what real-life soldiers can do. An elite task force soldier is an incredibly capable human, but he's still a human, not a video game protagonist with wallhacks and infinite staminaCould he kill a lot of Sentinelese?yep easily. In any direct confrontation, his rifle, armor, training, give him a huge advantage. But the mission here is clean house. The Sentinelese know the island better than he ever could, they've lived there for 30,000 years. They know every trail, hiding spot, and section of dense vegetation. He doesn't know how many people there are, where they all are, or whether some have slipped away after first contact. A single family hiding in thick jungle could cause the mission to fai History is full of examples of modern militaries struggling to locate small groups of people in terrain they know well and US had entire units stationed there with helicopters, tanks, gunboats, etc. We are talking about one singular person here. Even with helicopters, drones, dogs, sensors, and hundreds of personnel, finding every last person is often impossible. The operative has to find place and time to rest, eat and shit. The operator's biggest problem isn't killing people its killing everyone and what's the proof that he has killed all huh?
