Brave words from someone not in that position. Lightly armed against heavy calibre and RPGs. An Iranian heavy calibre opening up on one of those inflatables would have resulted in a massacre.

well, that is one result from an inept squad commander. There are other scenario’s I am sure you can envision.

His career as an officer is over, his troops should have been marching in formation, not waving to reporters. It is their job to be professionals. They failed. Hell, their marching in straight lines toward the colonist took more courage.
