Pakistan military by day, Taliban by night but the higher ups don't want to admit that. Live Free or Die Trying! Mr. Keyne,

Based off of my experience I’m afraid you are correct. Pakistan military by day, Taliban by night but the higher ups don’t want to admit that.

Live Free or Die Trying!

From what I've observed is that most battalion commanders and higher never had the chance to experience combat as a platoon leader or company commander and they try to grasp that experience by micromanaging their subordinates. An effective commander knows when to let the troops on the ground make their own calls. Live Free or Die Trying Winston,

Tactical situational awareness is best seen and determined by those on scene. If a commander does not trust his subordinate leaders, then he needs to make some changes or be changed him/herself. Waiting for air assets while the bad guys are just 2 clicks away is not too wise, especially in their back yard. Just my opinion after 35 years.
