This is what happens when you don’t have a Declaration of War and the President and his chronies get to make their own rules regarding warfare.
Time for a Revolution. It’s time to converge on DC and make some heads roll.
Hi Red Rover thank you for the ping.

The way the Marines can be effective is to kill everyone and blow up everything, that’s how it works damn it!
Another proof that the USA is on a fast fast decline into oblivion.I’m disgusted with the MSM and the ACLU types who now dictate what this country does .
Soon every soldier will have to have an attorney with him.

I’ve been saying that here for a long time ( and once got in trouble for it too )
Hi back at you, Brandie! Thanks for being aboard.
Scenario #66
If you are being shot at, keep your head down and use your specially supplied Urban Warfare Periscope (UWP). Attempt to ID the source of the fire. Once ID’d, the target, simply because of fire directed at you, is not necessarily hostile. He could be celebrating a wedding. Perhaps he is using rubber bullets. It is possible he is shooting at a rabbit near you, and not directly at you.
To determine if his intent is hostile, raise you hand with a Snickers Bar in it. This is a universal sign of friendship. An additional advantage of this is rubber bullet determination. If your hand is hit, then you will be able to eliminate the rubber bullet question, unless the possible hostile shooter is a bad shot. In that case, you should stand to provide a larger target. (Recommend that you be wearing your protective vest at this time, but rest assured that a rubber bullet will do no lasting injury.)
If all else fails, remove your M1 WFOS (White flag of surrender) from your pouch and wave it visibly back and forth on the provided aluminum extension rod. (Note: special WFOF instructions are also in French.)
Prior to capture, instruct all of your team to don their issued Kevlar Neckscarves (ABKN). Higher headquarters has determined that this new defensive device with prevent any initial efforts at throat slicing and beheading on the part of Al Qaeda rabbit hunters.
The Anti-Beheading Kevlar Neckscarves (ABKN) are also useful should a sandstorm arise during your captivity period.
After careful determination by the Military Public Relations Directorate, the standard of “Leave No Man Behind” has been replaced by a new motto “Kiss Your Behind Goodbye.”
Excellent ..

Add me to ping list please.
don-o - Dad of a future Marine
I’m trying to imagine how Gen. George Washington would have reacted to this set of “rules.”
Hanging or tar and feathers?
You’re on, don-o. Welcome aboard.
This crap reminds me of the rules I had to follow when recieving MAA training on the Independence. Use only the mininum force necessary which ran counter to my belief and experience that maximum force applied immediately usually ends any physical engagements/dangers you encounter. I can’t imagine our troops being hamstrung like this during WW II.
I figured you was jest tryin to get some attention
Thanks for the ping.
You’re welcome, fatima. And thank you for the prayers.
Welcome don-o! Congrats to both your son and you.
