You must have been involved, so tell us; why didn’t commanders honor the request of troops on the ground for artillery fire?

You must know. You must have been there. C’mon, what are the details?

A month ago it was announced that the ROE were going to be changed!! They said they were going to be stingy after an air attack killed several civilians!!! It was in the news. The Taliban has us by the short hairs, they know we are timid when it comes to collateral damage, that is why the purposely use civilians for cover! They have also taken a page from the Palestinians where they go to the morgue and get bodies and place them at bombing sites to make it appear there are more casualties, and lets not forget the fact that they have no problem killing civilians themselves to up the body count.
