Despite life-threatening injuries – injuries that merited retreat from the [observation post] – he continued to fight. Then-Capt. Matthew Myer, company commander, Chosen Company, 2-503rd Inf. Regt. (from his official account of the events, written days after the battle)

Actually, the Army has been trying to avoid this battle since it happened. A series of leadership failures led to it and all of those deaths.

I don't pay much attention to the folks who ask that question.
