Petraeus developed the COIN strategy and the rules of engagement in place in Afghanistan.
See the blog of John Bernard, “Let them Fight or Bring them Home.”

and the Rules of Engagement facebook page.

I have disproved of the rules of engagement too. There is a new general in charge in Afghanistan now. It’s his job to judge if things are set up correctly or not. If they aren’t, then change them.
Evidently he disagrees with us also.
Petraeus, COIN, ROE ——— spot on.
