Any commander on the ground should only be held responsible for a fukc up if:
a. His chain of command had given him discretion to refuse the task and
b. He had been given the right equipment for the job and
c. He and his people had been properly trained on the kit and the job and
d. He or his people fukced up.
Otherwise the responsibility for the fukc up lies higher in the chain of command.
a. is somewhat unlikely.
b. is very unlikely.
c. is sadly, but increasingly unlikely
d. is only remotely possible.
As I said, I'm no expert. This is my opinion. Look further up the chain of command. At the top there are politicians who have their own motives.
