@Kakyan logic: If I get beaten up on Tuesday instead of Friday, I didn’t get a beating at all.
Also
@Kakyan logic: if someone recorded me getting beaten up for 3 minutes but only released the high lights, that means I’ve actually been beating him up for the unreleased video portions.
Lets hypothetically play this out.
We see the Indians running off the hill in disarray at the end of that 20 second clip.
So according to Kakyan, those guys are supposed to regroup, restock and charge back up the hill in the remaining run time or less than 3 minutes?
How? Is that operationally feasible?
The average time to plan a hasty assault is more than 20 minutes, just using the basic 8 step process:
- Receive the Mission.
- Issue a Warning Order.
- Make a Tentative Plan.
- Initiate Movement.
- Conduct Reconnaissance.
- Complete the Plan.
- Issue the Order.
- Supervise, Inspect and Refine.
Unless you want to get your ass kicked back down the hill again, those guys will need to get shields, rehydrate, catch up on their oxygenation, and rehearse. You will need to rehearse your engagement plan, your casevac plan, your alternate assault position and your primary fall back position, as well as some kind of succession of command (who take over when the CDR take a rock to the face), since clearly it was not hashed out the first time.
You can't even brief a plan and conduct a proper back brief in 3 minutes, much less an successful assault against what is now established defensive position on the high ground.
No, I can give you another 30 minutes, and it won't reverse the results.
BTW, I've noticed a propensity for Indians to "Fuck it, we'll do it live", winging it attitude when it comes to military ops. For example, had they conducted a proper recon or any type of contingency plan, that shit show on the June evening would not have led to 20 deaths.
Bunch of fuck ups, and that includes their officers.
