We do also, but the ROE prevents the US from operating as the Russian forces do - ‘kill them all anyway possible as fast as possible’ VS ‘call the lawyer before returning fire because it looks like women and other ‘civilians’ are present’.
Regardless of differing ROE, I still see a real opportunity lost by not partnering with Russia in the long war against jihadism in Afghanistan.
This failure is in no small part because of the inflexible attitude of a relatively small group of neo-liberals still dug in the upper echelons of leadership.
These are the same folks who thought it was a good idea to invade Iraq, encourage the Arab Spring, topple Libya and partner with Al Qaeda in Syria.
They're a chronic cancer that must be permanently removed from the body politic.
