Would have been easy to do, instead of baracading themselves in the compound. They could have dug some concealed fighting postitions behind where the ATF was going to stand in front of the compound.

Imagine if the Davidians had fighting positions with 10 guys or just 10 to 12 shooters behind the ATF.  I doubt any of the ATF agents would have come out a live. And even if the Davidians had covered 2 sides of the building with 6 people in fighting holes covering the building, the ATF would have been screwed...BIG TIME!

Koresh got tipped that the ATF was coming. And they had time to prepare ahead of time, then when the time came, conceal their back up out side before the ATF raid went down.

So why do you think the Davidians didn't cover themselves better? Didn't they have any former military people in the compound?

Because they didn't instigate the fight, the ATF shot first. IMO The branch Davidians were acting in self defense.

I admit to being ignorant of the layout of the compound, but,
I think that

1-  They'd have to be able to dig them under surviellance.
2-  They can't live in the holes, so, they'd have to get to them without being seen.
3-  They were capable of being brainwashed by Koresh, so, how tactically oriented could they be?

Just my take.

They were probably not skilled shooters or new to take cover you might be surprised how many stand out in the open in a gunfight, they tend not to do it twice.  How many davidians died in the initial assault?  While I don't really sympathize with the brainwashed sheep I do not really give a shit what happens to ATF either.

That's why I ask. If anybody had a better jist of the situation with regards to my question.

1 - I would have thought, "IF" Koresh kept preaching about doomsday and making that bus bunker. Why didn't they make some fighting posititions with relation to the defense of the compound. He kept talking about it, but looks like they dropped the ball on the actuall carrying out of what to do when "doomsday" actually happened. They could have made these positions before they were put under surviellance.

2 - Not saying that. They didn't have to live in the holes. When "whom" ever tipped Koresh off that the ATF was coming, you'd think they would have sent some shooters to the holes. After seeing all of the video and listening to all of the people involved, I doubt the ATF actually had someone watching the compound "right" before they went out for the raid.

3 - They had some doctors and such in the compound. There were a lot of "smart" dumb people that he brainwashed. They killed 4 ATF agents, so they couldn't have been, that, lame. Does anyone know if there were any former military Branch Dividians? Basic fighting positions and tactics were taught at Basic Training, when I went through, I doubt that it could have changed that much.

*2 - And even "if" the ATF had seen some people go out to fighting positions, the people in the holes would have put up a better defense against the ATF. The ATF trained for the compound assault, not fighting out in the open. The ATF would have been sitting ducks.

Quite a few. I was in for 12 years and I know a lot of former military that still know a lot of basics.

Just because they "acted" in self defense, doesn't mean they wouldn't have been acting in self defense by using fighting holes during the fight. When the ATF started shooting, the branch dividians would still have been acting in self defense if they had popped up after the ATF shot. Granted, it would look like an ambush, but they still would have acted in self defense...if the ATF had fired the first shot like they did. And then "maybe" some of those 80 branh dividians may have been spared their lives.

Or do you think Koresh wanted to be a martyr and make his followers martyrs too?

I can agree with you on that. But with Koresh's preaching about a fight with the devil's forces at the compound and doomsday, you would think they would have prepared better if they really believed that it would come to a fight on their property.

Well, also, they'd have to count on the ATF not spotting the bunkers on any recons, or
the approach.

I promise you they had the place under surveillence all the way up to the final assault.

I'd venture to say if they had bunkers, the /gov would've reacted with evenmore force than they did.

They'd've been far better off hardening the structure it'self.

The problem with defending a point target is that you are bound to the target.

The land around Waco is pretty flat, and, clear.  I think what you're asking is kinda a moot point.

I don't think it could've been carried off.

Armored vehicles vs. small arms doesn't play in the favor of the latter.

AFA manageing to kill/wound ATF agents.....I'm not impressed.  If you are prepped for a dynamic entry, and, determined to hold your ground, knocking off a few entry team members isn't really that difficult.  Massed fire at the point of assault.  

BTW...I've got zero sympathy for either side in that fiasco.

While I agree with some of your point, I do have a GREAT deal of sympathy for the children that were murdered. Koresh AND the government have to bear the responsibility for that. And unfortunately the people in the government were protected from bearing that responsibility.

Why not ask "why didn't he just walk out"?
That, whether you like it or not, is how the system works.

It is inconcievable that anyone would say things like "why not arrest him in town where there would not be a fight" and then say "the BD's weren't violent"  "no way the BD's fired first". Those two thought processes are not reconcilable.

As this has been hashed and rehashed no one knows who did what first......because NO ONE is going to admit to it......NEITHER side.

There is MORE than enough blame to go around, regardless of what your opinion is of the .gov or the BD's.

He didn't set up an ambush for the same reason they STOPPED firing and allowed the ATF to pull back.

They weren't trying to waste everyone. If the Davidians wanted them all dead, they had them.



+1...The ATF liked to go on and on about how many full auto assault rifles they supposedly had, and they did have 2 .50 cal. Barrets...so, if the BDs were so bad, how's come they stopped? Were they scared? Not likely...

And here all these years I thought they HAD ambushed the officers. If it wasn't an ambush, I don't know what you'd call it.
"ATF shot first". Yeah,rrriiiggghhhtt. Only a Koresh apologist would really think that.



Exactly, it was just like that time Vickie Weaver attacked Lon Horiuchi armed with a baby. Only his skill and training saved his life that day. These guys are just trying to protect themselves while doing a difficult job. Shooting dogs and kids in the back is hard work.

No need to quote that... I have no intention of editing anything.  Your tinfoil might be giving you mixed signals about that though.



It just shows you as an asshole...you like to make fun of mentally challenged ppl? Wouldn't that make you self hating??

- oh I'm so hurt.  Seems I offneded one of the supposed "bleeding hearts" around here.  Take your false "offended" feelings elsewhere.



Why would you be hurt? You come across as a little man who got a badge to get back for all those times your head was dumped in a toilet as a youth. We are all impressed Mr. Patrolman. You don't need to impress us with your tough talk...
