General Franks never did like folks who were "fashionably late." This operation has a timetable that is expected to be met.Yeah, what's a few more casualties, give or take? Ooh-rah.

You snooze you lose. This is the big leagues, if someone is fumbling the ball, they go to the pines. Everything about this plan has been predicated on the right assets being in the right place at the right time. Three or Four other Army Infantry and Airborne units are depending on them to meet their mission objective.

Keep advancing, pressing the enemy until all he has time to do is surrender, or die.
If your casualties double but your pace triples you've lost fewer men at the end.
