      @@Matt-xc6sp It is, but it could be seen as poor communication. The US forces didn't necessarily get the subtext when British forces underplayed the severity of the threat like that and would assume that they were being serious. In this case even the British Apache crews weren't sure about the situation.

    The episode cost some British casualities, which is sad. Note, however, that it was also expensive in monetary terms, given all of the ordnance used. Ultimately, this war was lost in part because the fighting imposed monetary costs on NATO forces their commitment level would not sustain.
