The "lead man", "fo"(forward observer),"F/PD&CoAt(forward/perimeter defence&counter attack) or a "bait unit"etc are not considered suicidal missions but rather "extremely dangerous" and The battle of Thermopylae was "extremely dangerous" mission. COs are not train (now or then) to lead by implementing self destructive planning.Great warriors want to live another day to fight another battle and Leonidas was one of them.The objectives of his mission was D&A (delay and attrition)and he succeeded bravely (if my numbers are accurate 4000 Greeks dead vs 20000 persians) The modern theory that one of the objectives of his mission was to expose enemy's tactics is flat out wrong. In my view there are 2 reasons for not totally defeating the Persians 1. the "homogeneity" of his forces (Theban issue) and 2. his (W&R)withdrawal and regrouping plan was compromised. His mission had all the components for total victory(terrain, supply lines,fighting quality in personel and weaponry etc). Leonidas was a strategist as well as tactician he probably had counter-attack plan, unfortunately he took it with him.<br /><br /> Therefore Leonidas mission wasn't a suicidal missionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846402185724705167.post-23378096625475304712010-07-05T04:57:33.538-07:002010-07-05T04:57:33.538-07:00Δεν ακουγετε και 100% τρελο!!!Δεν ακουγετε και 100% τρελο!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
