Hearts-n-Minds,,
Reason # 5186 for dumping NATO.. Everyone has their own definition of the war on terrorist.
This just shows how communications or lack there of can trash the day..
As much as I don't condone the Italians,, but understand their "PLAN",,
The French should have their a$$ handed to them for their completely inept battle plan??

“They went in with two platoons [approximately 60 men]. They had no heavy weapons, no pre-arranged air support, no artillery support and not enough radios. The French were carrying just two medium machine guns and 100 rounds of ammunition per man.”

Maybe the Italians should lend the French Kipling's reading list..
Quote:
“When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier ~of~ the Queen!r”
Rudyard Kipling, "The Young British Soldier", circa 1840
