I have to agree with Zraver. All this reeks of arrogance from brigade down to even section level. Good Heavens. The Israelis are sending $35mil airplanes dropping $100K PGMs on a $200 bunker to be followed by a $2mil tank. The Hezbollah won't return the favour?
All of the above just leave a very bad feeling. I just cannot see how brigade level stupidity translated all the way down to section unless it is systemic.
Zraver's eval sounds right on the money.
