Courageous Restraint "Hold fire, earn a medal"

[Ranger94]

Okay, so I guess if someone learns something on their own, then they deserve a reward. I further infer that you believe Soldiers are learning things on their own without significant assistance or training from their superiors. Apparently one of those things is COIN, a collective endeavor performed by units, which I guess we're to believe is spontaneously performed without guidance or direction from leaders, or something. And then, this justifies a reward for restraint, or something?

Yep

Forgive me if I stop responding.

When doing an AAR check ego at the door. very respectfully, I am pointing out my perspective based on my training and deployments
