And just what were the ROE for WWII infantry?

The infantry we have today is just as good. And much better equipped.

And with the right civilian leaders....

Watch the opening of the movie Patton and you will get a sense of what the rules were.

I agree with you. I was never infantry but for my first deployment they retrained us and used us as motorized infantry. Didn’t give us the MOS though.
I will say this though, what we faced in Iraq and Afghanistan is really a walk in the park compared to what our military faced in WW 2.
