The troops up at Kajaki Dam are surrounded by the enemy, which has dug itself into actual “FLETs.” FLET is military-speak for “Forward Line of Enemy Troops.” In other words, the enemy is not hiding, but they are in trenches, bunkers and fighting positions that extend into depth.

Gosh, now, I’m no military expert, but I can see something useful that could be done right there. With lots and lots of deep-penetrating ordnance.
