What I'm worried about is if we start saying that it's up to each player to decide when there's a threat, not necessarily shooting at us or even aware, then there's going to be a lot of conversations along the lines of "what the hell are you doing, I said hold fire", " but I saw a threat", "well, OK then" and it could make it that much harder for leaders to maintain order.
Seeing a thread is not enough. The RoE is pretty logical. You are to follow team leader order UNLESS
- You are in immediate danger because you had hard contact and the opponent is shooting at you.
- Holding fire will put another unit in immediate danger, like the APC being targeted by the missile soldier.
In general, you hold. Seeing an enemy is not a reason to shoot.

You're being too harsh to yourself. Every team leader has his share of split-second decisions to make. Sometimes they are wrong. You had hoped the BTR would pass, it didn't. Mistakes happen. In the end, almost all of us survived.
I don't need luck, I have ammo.
