Voyeur,

Interesting comment, moving on from the battle itself. Given our electronic intelligence capabilities AND the ability to deliver effective fire against massed troops, this seems like a pretty big “war party”, as Nahncee characterizes them to be wandering around in the boonies for the fun of it. I have never conducted operations in other than jungle terrain, but it seems likely to my unsophisticated view that a large group like that would give off a pretty big heat signature to infrared surveillance and surely we have that capability by now. Probably more here than will ever be reported. Any thoughts, or too far off track?
