"Although the unit did not have the right maps, it is likely they had additional capabilities to understand the situation on the battlefield..." Green Berets... really, you think?!! Sounds tome like the kind of thing our special operators do routinely, if/when the situation dictates.

Articles like this actually make me feel sorry for the average person. I mean, "...with only 12 hours of preparation..." Gosh, I'd hate to hear what the Post would think about tactical actions at the Argonne.

I had troops pull ops with only 30 minutes notice. Granted it was within the context of a larger operation but still it was a lift and shift move. Historically....remember the Band of Brother's attack on the German artillery battery? That was a shoe string operation aggressively executed. What did Patton say.....better a poor plan executed in a timely manner rather than a perfect plan exercised too late....or words to that effect.
