I agree. This should not be posted, IMO. It puts our troops at risk.

I completely disagree. How do you know they don't want this information to be put out? This could just as easily be disinformation put out by the US government on purpose.

IMO, the article points out several weaknesses, none of which can be considered disinformation.

The deception was revealed on Monday when the marines broke the corps' code of silence to detail the extent of shortages of equipment and manpower which they blame for many of their comrades' deaths.

The marines highlighted the lack of armoured Humvees

It was also issued with maps that were several years out of date and showed urbanised areas still to be farmland.

..it had only a handful of electronic devices that block the detonation of roadside bombs, which were responsible for the deaths of 13 of 21 deaths.

This is a hit piece, IMO. If it was put out by the US Government, it probably would have been less critical of same.
