“Its unthinkable that situations like this where our troops are left defenseless and told not to return fire happen at all.”
This is one of the main reasons that the suicide rate in the military doubled after Obummer took office.
I have several friends in Special Forces. They were very frustrated when Obama changed the rules of engagement in 2008 and they were disciplined for returning fire.
Their suicide rates spiked, too. Betrayal. Pure betrayal.
