Any more than your assumption that it is a letter complaining about the lack of armour for and apparent inability of briton auxillaries to throw javelins. And I never said the replacement was a n00b, but we certainly cannot expect up to date information to be supplied to new commanders by anyone other than the previous ones (and the other officers who were staying on).
Certainly I haven't seen your interpretation listed amongst those currently being pursued. Perhaps you should write a paper on the matter.
