Yes, I think you put your finger on it.

The British Army does all it can to eliminate the 'gungho' attitude.....

and yes, you are also right that the Americans have more troops there, and in the toughest areas.

But still...... levelling a family dwelling with tank rounds because there are snipers on the roof shooting at your armoured tank does seem a tad excessive... perhaps the continual 'pinging' on the armour was giving the brave lads a headache.....
