It's good to see that even in modern times, most of you can expend effort scoffing at his relatively junior rank.
Perhaps our young Capt shouldn't have broken ranks, but at the same time he is giving information about a campaign which isn't necessarily running on the same lines of our recent engagements.
The operation in Afghanistan is different to what we first envisaged and the Taliban and other associated elements have engaged in the kind of warfare they are very practised at. Everyone seems surprised that they have been prepared to stand and fight, but there has been some previous evidence to suggest that they would!
Through our actions, we probably have lost the ability to win the hearts and minds and what the young Capt is drawing the attention to is that whether we choose to win the war or to extract ourselves with dignity, this now needs to become the main effort and receive the level of resources needed to achieve the aim. The force we have doesn't deny ground and resources to the enemy significantly so they can fight, regroup and seek us out again.
If you read the text by the young Capt, he highlights the fortitude and stamina of our excellent troops - they need more like them to win and the equipment to support them.
