That would be fine if these were some journalist's comments. This came from the tank commander. That's what's disconcerting. Troop morale needs to be a priority.

The campaign is not perfect, and even if it was, there would be somebody complaining about how it was prosecuted. In this case, the somebody is a tank commander. There are also Air Force/Army/Marine/Navy rivalries that will come off as negative comments, and discontent between superiors and workers is part of reality. Oftimes the second-guessers are proven right. The action will not be prosecuted "perfectly."

Troop morale is better than public morale, at this point.
