It appears that for whatever "operational" reasons the contact area is not really/properly swept/searched/secured.
The reason for this and the actual number of Taliban casualties are being kept from the public.
Then I get the "I'll put this upstart in his place" speech from you.
I respond as follows:
* The Taliban know exactly how many casualties they are taking.
* The Taliban know exactly why some of the time/most of the time the Brits do not consolidate and sweep/search the contact area.
There is no OPEC issue here other than what the MoD wants to hide from the British people. This being what the actual Taliban casualties are.
Is this what you term
operationally and politically sensitive?
