“rules of engagement that assured U.S. troops were vulnerable and often killed and wounded”
details?
examples?
No firing on people (ostensibly women) dressed in burkas; needing a lawyer before retuning fire; needing to have a wounded soldier before retuning fire; needing to consult a ‘kill list’ before killing a known bad guy; needing to see a weapon before retuning fire - the list is long.
