I'm actually in the middle between both of you. On the one hand, yes they're professionals and this is part of what they signed up to do, on the other hand... professional or not, I can't help but feel sorry for a guy who gets into what's reputed to be the world's best army, and gets shafted by a fumbled operation.

I think it's right that the officers were relieved, and totally nothing new. If a captain of a ship gets relieved if he runs aground, so should a commander be relieved if he leads his soldiers to an ambush that could've been avoided with even a slight precaution. I don't think it would be right to throw criminal charges on officers for mistakes, that would probably have very negative effects on morale, but military discipline should apply.
