Yes, exactly. So now the question can be brought back to whether "do not reflect the current on-ground realities" is jargon or technical language, or not. I can easily imagine it is, for higher-level military commanders. Just like 'synergy' is a word that means something to professional managers in bigger organizations and consultancy. I know it's a word that is often derided by technical people for being meaningless management mumbo jumbo, but that's just a brash generalization coming from ignorance of the field of management.

Anyway my objection against the original comment was precisely this; the OP made a statement on the intent of who said those words based on (from what I read between the lines of the post) prejudices and his/her own ignorance.
