If you can wade through various levels of obscenity there's a fairly interesting (and at times very funny, at times completely out of line) thread on this attack on Arrse.
Obviously there's the undertone that one bit of the military which did a good/bad job is better/worse than the next which would have done a better/worse (delete as appropriate) job....to which we on pprune are not strangers.
The debate seems to have three major discussion points.
1. Whilst the re-attack appears to have been spirited, gallant and successful and the fight 'won' 14-2, the FP on the whole actually failed at the point that a re-attack became necessary. (To any k##bs who think I am having a pop at a particular unit or service - think again.)
2. The (quoted as 17km) fence line is too long for the FP assets available.
Can we perhaps debate the notion that whilst getting CAS assets up threat is great for sortie generation, reaction times etc then we may have a lesson here that the FP needs to be watertight if the tactic is adopted.
All players seem to agree - beyond the lessons and a certain amount of recrimination that the actions of the USMC CO and his boys were excellent.
