It's never a good thing for the blame game to start when fighting is on going. Given the plethora of books that have been published, those interested in more background gen might wish to refer to "A Million Bullets" by James Ferguson.

It is a shame the above-linked story hasn't had better coverage. It does reflect thinking (at least away from HQ Land) that the 6 month 'rotational amnesia' is screwing us over and is good for nothing other than Staff Officer development.
