Review concerning fools joining soldiers at junction (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reassessment

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'review' is the definition.
(I know that review can be written as reassessment)

'fools joining soldiers at junction' is the wordplay.
'fools joining' becomes 'reassess' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'soldiers' becomes 'men' (men can mean a group of soldiers).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'junction' becomes 't'.
'reassess'+'men'+'t'='REASSESSMENT'

'concerning' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reassessment that I've seen before include "Further appraisal" , "another property valuation" , "Further thoughts" , "extra test?" , "Process of re-evaluation" .)
