How many of these people were KIA in the opening moments of this well coordinated ambush? The moments before support is impossible to be had. The mistake was made at the local level during the planing phase. I wonder if anyone bothered to mention that this looks like a great place for a U shaped ambush from the high ground. Getting too comfortable is deadlier than lack of support. We've been making this same mistake since Custer and before. It's a jagged little pill to swallow.
