"I am sure you agree, combat operations are quick, violent and confusing."

There's a clear distinction between parsing "combat" and a recorded exercise that has been drilled in a like setting for months.

Rehearsals are one thing.

In a real operation, how it went down and in what sequence and who-shot-who and when and where, those things cannot be scripted. Bad guys rarely follow your plan. That makes accurately reporting moments after a very difficult and downright intense engagement impossible.
