I posted this to see what the reaction would be.
First, the troops in Iraq are being held to a standard stricter than the law enforcement here in the States. I Know because I was one for thirty years. Times you can shoot -HERE in the US:
1. When the attacker is shooting at you—regardless of who is in the line of fire.
2. To stop a fleeing Violent Felon (A guy who has just shot at me, then ditched his weapon qualifies) —NOTE item #1 about the BOOK below.
IN Sgt. Major BRAD KASAL’S BOOK “My Men are my heroes”, he talks about
1. Jihadi’s in Fallujah stored weapons in many different locations. This way, they could shoot at the Marines, lay THAT weapon down, then run to another defensive location BECAUSE—The Maribnes were told that they could not shoot at an “Un-armed Civilian”.
2. Kasal took a Senior JAG Officer into Fallujah to SHOW HIM, that they could never hope to take Fallujah UNDER THE “RULES OF ENGAGEMENT”
3. After Kasal lost one man killed, and himself and two other nearly killed, the Rules that said you had to enter and investigate was altered: Explode—then enter.
It's good to see that everybody in Iraq understands who Bush has left in charge of the war - - the scumbag ACLU lawyers of JAG. Thank you, Commander-in-Chief George W. Bush.
I'm sure the dead Marine's (or soldier's) family feels better now that the lawyers running the war have given their permission to fight it correctly. Thank you, George W. Bush. Can I go throw up now?
