The issue of who went to town to help was a 3d Ranger Bn vs. everyone else issue; the big Army QRF from 10th Mountain was stopped so Rangers could lead the way. Big Army goofs it up on occasion -- so does SOCOM.
Thanks for saying that. I hate it when people critcize "Big Army" as if it's some unchanging monolith, or any shotgun generalizations. We all have our strengths, roles, and weaknesses. Changes of command play very heavy in any organization's outlook.
