    Well… That didn’t go according to plan

    Never in the history of any battle ever goes to plan,in even pre-history, you just do the best you can and improvise the rest.

    Posing for the audience after a strike only works in Hollywood. Which ain’t in this world.

    I suspect he thought he got that one eyes and was calling in more birds to attack, and the pause was too long.
    That was something I was taught during my training, NEVER stop, make SURE your opponent is down for the count.

    “Never in the history of any battle ever goes to plan,in even pre-history, you just do the best you can and improvise the rest.”

    Then why do generals always bother with planning?

  6. Scarsdale

    A couple of reasons,
    1) it’d their job
    2) they hope at least parts go well
    These days generals never see the battle field, unless they use satellite images,
    plus they can blame a failure on someone there.

    Well, he forgot about the rest of them it looks like. Or just underestimated their speed.
    Too bad; I liked what we had seen of his character.

    Focused too long on the target. Stick and move, old son. Shoot, move, communicate.

    And it’s not about being able to lay blame. It’s about instilling the right habits of warfare so that when the soldiers ARE on the sharp end, their actions are performed as a natural process, without thought or hesitation. Thought and hesitation get you or your buddy killed (exhibit A) (Desert Storm vet here)
