So how could these men with guns stand outside, hearing the shooting and screaming...not go inside?

Rules of Engagement.

How many of our military had to sit still and let the enemy fire at them or others until they got permission from the 'higher ups' to fire ?

I know that. But this isn’t the military even though some of them think it is.

If that is the case, it is flat out wrong, IMO.
