I don't think short and huge descriptions are mutually exclusive. I think one should always (and by "always" I mean that there are of course "always" exceptions ) give a long briefing (e.g. "Situation) for those players who like to read the briefings to set the mood and a short one for (e.g. "Mission") for those who just want the main points. So I think in this case one "can have his cake and eat it too".
Agreed, I do like briefings that are relevant and give background. My main problem with Sander's briefings was that he tended to make them more complicated than needed. For example, he always wrote things like "Rotary Aircraft Insertion" instead of Helicopter. That pretty much annoyed me. I remember than in one briefing he even used some fancy term for Car.
I like to keep it simple and not try to make it overloaded with terms that nobody would use. A chopper is a chopper.
I don't need luck, I have ammo.
