You make a good point, Marine support of the cease-fire was of the grumble-grumble variety. That may be partly due to their resentment of even comment on their offensive from CentCom. Marines rightfully think they know best when the shootin' starts.
Probably a lot of grey area in this. I think the outcome is so unique that people will eventually talk, and well be able to pin down the shade.
Always good to hear your thoughts
