google the title and you'll easily find the document yourself. in the same document, Marshall also said that due to the constricted terrain, American units sometimes also have no choice to but to attack in massed formation.

Shen, it is your responsibility to do this on SD. If you are going to post it, then provide the link.

Either provide the link in a separate post, referring back to the first, or PM me the URL and I will edit your first post.

Here you go

Thanks, thunder, I will go back an link in his the link you provided.

Shen, take note. This is the way we do things here on SD. If you reference something like this, which is not your own opinion/conjecture/thought, and it filled with what you believe to be official or credible data you are using, please link to it so other members can go to it and read for themselves.

Thanks,

It's all relative. It's just like a former member in here who posted that it was somehow not honorable for the Taliban to use snipers much in the same context to which Michael Moore got heat for his recent comment about snipers in general. And Chris Kyle was a sniper in Afghanistan. Of course a human wave attack is going to be look upon in a negative light when you're the one on the receiving end and most of all... it worked. It's like those who believe the US won the Vietnam War simply because the US killed more Vietnamese than Vietnamese killed Americans. If it was the US using human wave attacks, it would be portrayed with the romanticism of a movie. MacArthur thought the Chinese were spent and underequipped from WWII and would be easy to take on. If it were the other way around, it would be painted as a valiant fight against all odds where their soldiers sacrificed all for what they believed. Which brings up propaganda and somehow it's synonymous that only one side engages in it. Spinning details is propaganda. Or how only Asians are concerned with saving face to which others scoff at. Not admitting you lost or being nitpicky on the details to lessen the other side's accomplishments is saving face.
