Major-General Lewis MacKenzie was before committee on this study back in the spring, and when he was talking about Mali he said:
Just check the fatality rate in Mali, for example. Over 50% have been killed in their bases by indirect fire. Even the Germans, bless them, have counter bombardment mortars, a mortar radar. I don't know what good it's going to do them, because they don't have any ability to respond to the mortar fire coming from outside the base.
Do you agree with his assessment? He's talking about Gao.
