“You don’t put your own troops in jeopardy for doing their job.”
Sort of like 0bama’s ROEs - soldiers can only shoot after they been shot at ... Take the hit of the bullet/RPG, treat the survivors, if any, then shoot back after clearing it with HQ legal. You do see the difference?
When I mentioned jeopardy, it was intended to reflect legal jeopardy.
I do see a difference between what took place on the ROEs you cited, but that wasn’t a comparison I was trying to feed into.
I’d wager that President Trump’s ROE will be different!
They will change sometime on the afternoon of 20 Jan!
