#2 Bottom line here is that the Brass always think that a failed operation is caused by not going big enough, never that it was a bad idea coming out of the gate. The notion that a military operation that doesn't stay within it's resources either fails or is a miracle and succeeds seems to escape them. Never bet on divine intervention.
