Is it TRUE the ROE is that they can engage the Taliban only in self defense????
What are these men risking their lives for? World opium trade? I am beginning to believe so
ROE, yup, since IRAQ. Petraeus COIN strategy. Also had similar ROE in Nam.
My understanding is that ROEs preclude soldiers from firing on any “civilian” structure, which basically means no return fire on any building in Afghanistan. Add that to not being anle to fire on those who toss down their rifle only to move to another plus many other absurdities...and the stupidity of COIN as a military strategy..partnering with child raping Pashtuns...training Taliban moles who turn their weapon on American soldiers...its a far cry from the days of Iwo Jima.
