I believe our guys followed ROE because they know they can't get tried for murder in this idiotic war we are running. Let me clarify, I think the war is justified, I do not think the way the armed forces cave in at the least suggestion of impropriety is justified. The torture, the charges of murder etc. Granted most of the cases have cleared the troopers charged but they shouldn't have to go through this for doing their job.
Also, I do believe there are sometimes real cases of murder occuring during a war but shooting combatants is not murder and shooting at a car that fails to stop at a checkpoint, whether is was roving or stationary, is not murder either.
I also think the war is justified, and our support of the troops helps to build and sustain the morale of those fighting to defend us against terrorism. We better not sacrifice one of these soldiers to keep the Italians happy.
