Who in the fuck holds a reward ceremony let alone OKs one in a goddamn war zone?
this has happened to the Russians, too. Is this in their military culture? was it a set up? bad Intel? really stupid decision to allow that to happen.
Whoever OKed that higher in the command chain is done making decisions. If he isn't court marshaled over it, this is a damn tragedy that was 100% avoidable.
What I don't understand is shouldn't the actual veterans of the 128th Mountain Div have realized what a horrible idea this was, and maybe arrested the guy as a suspected Russian spy or something?
