I agree. Stop, rest, repair, resupply, reinforce, crush resistance behind you.

If necessary yes, but if 3ID is still in great shape I say keep killing their Army. Going static would encourage the Iraqis and the press would have a field day with it. It also would give them time to reestablish their communications and control and "de-chaos" their side of the battlefield.

We shouldn't be worried about territory right now (secure supply lines yes, holding territory no). The whole point is destroying the army and thats easier to do if you keep the pressure on.

I agree, That was Hilter's mistake at Dunkirk which could be argued cost him the war.

Keep the pressure on.
