NBC News claimed U.S. Army officers wanted to attack the ceremony with missiles carried by an unmanned Predator drone but were prevented under rules of battlefield engagement that bar attacks on cemeteries.

Is NBC making this up, or are there actual written rules about this?

Apparently, no one has any access to written rules on the ban on attacking cemeteries where the enemy are congregated. Why would there be a ban on this in the first place? Those that are dead already are not gonna notice.
