Did anyone watch the military channel last night? They played a re-inactment of the "Battle of Takur Ghar".
It was actually pretty good. I haven't read much on the battle but at the end they were talking about whether it was the right call to wait until dark to try another extraction. It's a tough call. At the end of the day, like they said on the show, it is probably better not to risk the loss of more men and hardware.
I don't know a lot about the operation but I have a general question. Did they not have any 203's? At 50 - 75 meters it would've been a better option then having CAS drop 500lb bombs danger close.
Any input?
