Really? Please share the details of those command decisions to withhold fire support for this engagement, who made them and where they were made from specifically? Not your opinion.
Whether you like it or not, his conclusion seems obvious.
Apparently, it is your opinion that I cannot share my opinion unless I was there.
I assume you were there then or is that just your opinion?

No crap. Marine officers have their bad eggs, but fewer than any other branch (imho). If an officer receives ROE that say no artillery, then that’s the ROE. I don’t buy “bad officer” for a marine (or any branch, for that matter, but the marines in particular) until it’s proven by someone credible.
