They completely missed the amount of force that was required to take that shithole. Pride got the best of them andits debatable whether it was needed but they didnt want to appear weak not only to the Japanese but back home. Strategically it was questionable from the jump but I guess they felt resistance would be lighter and not so entrenched

I agree with that, I mean hell, when Chesty Puller almost loses his entire regiment something is definitely wrong. They also kept getting orders to attack head on into the Umburgol (sp) Mountain which was the teeth of the Japanese defense.
