#2 It's unfortunate the Inspector General hadn't been tasked with the job instead of the actual people who were put in charge. In other words, it's the typical BS after-action report. People who couldn't find their rear ends with both hands and a flashlight are given the job of figuring out how a complicated mission went wrong.
Kamil Galeev got it right. People who have no idea how to do something are asked to figure out how something should have been done. The end result? Gibberish tied up neatly with a bow.
It's a lot like Kissinger in action. The guy writes a bunch of plausible-sounding crap about historical events. Then he turns over South Vietnam to the North on the brink of victory, when North Vietnam had run out of SAM's, and their military installations were naked to US airstrikes, and calls craven surrender a peace agreement. This is a guy who simply should not be trusted near anything important*. Unfortunately for the South Vietnamese and the GI's who were sacrificed to his inept machinations, he was entrusted with the fate of an entire nation.
* There's a reason Kissinger spent no time in anything resembling real private sector work. P&L statements don't lie. |
