I was lucky in RVN. Both tours I worked with all older professional soldiers, rather then the 18 months and out. Some were just 3 or 4 years in, but they “got it!”

We never committed war crimes or anything of the like, but we had only two Rules of Engagement.

#1: Nothing counts more than the men in your small unit, nothing! Not highers, not rank, not your career, nothing!

#2: Go home to the Big PX vertical, not horizontal!

Taking prisoners is dangerous business.

If they come walking up to you hands up, or are seriously wounded, that is one thing. We never refused aid to the wounded or Hoi Chans.

Catch them in the act of offensive military or para-military operations? AMF.... and if they can't take a joke, screw ‘em !

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