Something went wrong and it does not look good right now but I'll wait for more information.
To react you have to be (or not) called. As in all cases, more of the story will come out in the next few days.

Pete, I am using Major Gen. William Caldwell's assessment in the video link that I posted. My reaction is based on his statement. Coalition forces in close proximity reported explosions. They attempted unsuccessful contact with the patrol that was under attack. A UAV arrived within 15 minutes and confirmed burning vehicles. The QRF for dispatched and arrived approximately one hour after the report of the explosions. That is where my anger comes from.
