could be difficult.

Yup. Still better to be tried by twelve of your peers (and your case didn't even go that far) than carried by six of them.

Or as I say in my civilian job, better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

Yep....those who can do those who can’t teach.......use of force / ROE is currently taught per the law enforcement definition vs the military need. Gone are the days of recon by fire and mad minutes..............
