well the kid seems to have a clearer insight than your experts. common sense tells us that Haig had fucked it up so badly that the only answer was the the sheer number of American troops that pulled his chestnuts out of the fire.

history is prey to fashion, and reflects the age.

in the sixties and 70's we had the age of revolution we had Taylor and Marwick.

in the age of neo conservatism Blair/ Cameron / Thatcher - we have this bunch of clowns flooding the net.

that the only divergent thought available is a 16 year old kid. says more about academic standards than the correctness of their analyses.

i notice you can't refute any of what the kid says.
