Report
Joe Gifford in Tal Afar, Iraq How well prepared is Joe Gifford for the situation he's in now? How well prepared are his soldiers? What more could he have done to get himself and them ready? Joe Gifford was not adequately prepared for the chemical warfare situation, particularly when the bomb in the building with soldiers inside was discovered, potentially leading to numerous casualties and deaths. This was their first real-hand combat experience, likely causing them to be on their toes and filled with various emotions throughout the experience. What would be going through your mind, if you were in Gifford's situation and had just a few minutes to make a decision? In my mind the first priority would be to ensure everyone's safety by removing them from the building, obtaining medical attention if necessary, and ensuring no immediate threats. I would also call for backup, investigate potential solutions for civilians in the area, and establish a perimeter. What would you do about the woman and the two small children? I would want to save the women and children's lives, but I also acknowledge the potential loss of men and traps in enemy territory. I believe the civilians may be working with the enemy or used as bait to lure soldiers in. I suggest keeping them put or allowing them to try to escape, but would not intervene until more reinforcements arrive or bomb specialists clear the area. I believe they should weigh their options carefully to avoid potential risks.
