It's bullsh!t what we are doing to our own soldiers like this, putting them in these isolated outposts like forts on the frontier back in the cowboys and Indians days of the old west.

What's the point of bombing people back into the stone age who are not that far removed from the stone age in the first place?

What kills me is being surrounded by all that high ground. I have been out of the game for a long time but I could still see how isolated and susceptible to fire that place is.

We really need to get our head out of our A$$es and stop setting our troops up for failure. You would think it would be common tactics 101 here and not set up an outpost in a valley. I learned that from my QRC brothers when I was with JCSE back in the early 90's.
