I fully agree that the military of every branch generally has a screwed-up ROE that is preventing true victory. I believe my point is corollary to a screwed-up ROE by having FBI involved and compounded by DOD lawyers using the ROE as a cudgel over military commanders. A properly employed military force that is given mission-type orders (”Bad guys! Sic-em!”) will achieve results. Best example: SOF in early Afghanistan engagements.
“Mission-type orders”
Like: “Sweep the seas for England!”
