I can not imagine how the ROEs will be in Libya. Best bet, use RPVs.

If true, this is a nutty policy. What I'd like to know is the name of the person responsible for setting this policy. Word: Obama.
To: Zhang Fei
Easy enough to circumvent. No prisoners! Lawrence! Rules of Engagement. No prisoners!

We know a young Marine who just lost both legs and some fingers due to an ied in Afghanistan . If we aren’t going to let them fight we need to bring them home. The men in this article that were caught placing bombs should have been shot on the spot.

Where are our representatives in congress, the news media and anywhere else that someone can raise a stink about this
absurd travesty? This is no acceptable and if voters had a clue this was happening
they would maybe finally throw the trash out.
Our soldiers in the field must be livid! Where is all the noise that this stupidity should be making?

If our troops cant effectively take prisoners.... then dont take prisoners. Take photos of their bodies instead. The Stryker Kill Team got into trouble for that. Solution: don't even take pictures, don't even take notes, and don't EVER talk about what you do outside the unit.

Thanks for posting. I sent this to my Congressman as one more reason why Obama needs to be impeached.
To: Zhang Fei
time to get out....the vietnamization has been going on for at least 2 years...(just like at our southern border where our agents are shooting bean bag loads....)
we have no Osama to show for any of this...time to either put our efforts to actually getting Bin Laden...or get the frig out....and do it NOW!!!!

My son will turn 21 in Afghanistan. I told him that when he got his midtour leave I will throw him a huge Keg party.
After he was briefed on th ROE, he told me forget about the keg party, plan a funeral. Nice, ha?
