Hear ye! Hear ye! Sec. Mattis, if you have ears to hear and eyes to see. REwrite COIN and quietly, secretly, protectively, change the rules of engagement.

Pc war = body bags
Unleash the dogs of war
And if politicians dont want to win a war, dont declare one
Best bet.... send every congressman to the front on point for 2 weeks every year....

I find rules in a war silly. The reason we have a war is because Diplomacy failed. So since people can’t work through the system of diplomacy to resolve the problem, you have a war. Diplomacy is all about rules and working together to resolve the problem, wars are not! Wars also should be over as soon as possible using whatever means necessary to destroy the other side.

“...Wars also should be over as soon as possible...”

This is exactly what my dad (member of Patton’s Third Army) taught me when I was about 8 years old...

End a fight as soon as possible using as extreme measures as you can muster...The sooner it’s over, the less time for you to be hurt...

I have lived by that and survived ‘Nam...

COIN has always failed. Yet it is passionately believed in by our modern “Generals”.

We should all be breaking the rules of engagement before long, otherwise Soros is taking over here and abroad, while we carry around the Marquis of Queensbury Rules, shouting “You’re cheating!”.

The current commander in chief should reinstate these 2 men with full back pay.

Obama has doomed our poor troops for 8 years. Time to “unleash hell” and let our warriors do what they do. Destroy the enemy on the field of battle. HW BUsh, Clinton, GW Bush, Obama, all pathetic PC policies that have killed thousands of our warriors. The sooner they are allowed to completely destroy the enemy in all their little hidey holes and mosques the sooner this war can be over AND the sooner Islam will be forced to drag itself kicking and screaming out of the 7th century.

I would say taking out the location of the Syrian gas attack airport hangers and dropping MOAB on a ISL headquarters and training camp, is a good start.

That sums up the conditions perfectly. We give our enemies permission to fight an asymmetric war. It’s truly insane and is offering up our collective heads on a chopping block.

He will have to clean out a ton of libs in the officer corps to accomplish that objective.I’d say 70% at least.

All of your suggestions in direct opposition to mr. Obama, the enemy’s best friend. Keep in mind, congress made no declaration of war. Mr. Obama, our Muslim faggot leader, set the rules to favor our enemies. He traveled the world to declare his hatred for the old, white, America and declared to his Muslim brotherhood, I am here to help you. How many F15 did he approve for delivery to Egypt, while declaring his support to remove primitive firearms from American citizens?

There are rules that limit the ravages of war. POW rules for instance, have often been mostly adhered to by both sides.
