SM are portrayed as geniuses on the battlefield but in the books they get ambushed all the time and their main strategy is to bumrush the enemy asap. That´s not really worthy of the most important book on warfare.

That idea has worked pretty well for the US millitary in recent times. What to do when you get ambushed, attack through it. At times when you are under fire and unable to receive orders from higher up's beyond your squad, attack.
