Agree with you TS… Someone is feeding this story or lies to push some agenda.

Yeah, watch they are already saying that the camp was DUE to be CLOSED because of the NEW FOCUS to townships and local centers for Conventional Forces. There will be a spin, off this battle for some months to come. Sad that men had to die, but now “they” will be used IMHO for others gains; Political gains that is.

Conventional Leaders at these “outposts” and firebases all are being “controlled” to do their COIN mission. Which is just to sit in their camps walls. If they get in a fire fight most will go back to their base camps for safety and not engage the enemy. Time will tell from this event.
All of this for a new weapon?? I don't think so. I think there is more to these reports.
