It is unconscionable that people are being murdered over there because the rules of engagement deliberately put our troops at a disadvantage. The same with the Embassy in Benghazi, the Marines and protecting force was NOT allowed to carry live ammo. What??
Why do we do this? Why do we allow our great American kids to be sitting ducks? Would any father send his 9 year old son across a busy highway? Of course not. Then why are we deliberately sending these kids into harms way unprotected?
Frankly I cannot imagine the level of patriotism required to be able to agree to serve and risk life & limb under the bottom feeders running this country.
Identify the family members of each murderer, and remove them from Afghanistan...dead or alive.
Send 'em back when we leave Afghanistan in two years.
Gen. Allen ought to hold a press conference to announce his resignation because of these circumstances.
The general has failed those under his command. If he won't take the gloves off and take it to the enemy (where ever they may be), who will?
What specific ROE are you referring to and where can we find the most recent written version of it?
I don’t see any ROE that’s going to stop all blue on green murders . I also don’t see why we’re still there.
That's probably the big thing that most people are unaware of.
I'm betting our guys could clean this up quickly if they were allowed to do what is needed.
The public would probably be infuriated if they knew how our people are limited.
The lawyers who make up the rules up, should be placed in out in front and make them find the IED’s.
