Rules of engagement only make sense if both sides adhere to them. If one side does not, the choices the other has are fight to win, don’t fight, or impose one-sided constraints on yourself, and fight to lose.
We seem to be going with the third choice, the consequences of which are loss of life, limb and morale of our precious warriors for no useful purpose. I’d rather not fight at all.
William Tecumseh Sherman said “War Is Hell”. Now we think we can fight a polite war. Ain’t no such thing.
Hard to fight a war when our C-I-C, and his regime, think the terrorists “have legitimate grievances with the West”.
‘Hard to fight a war when our C-I-C, and his regime, think the terrorists âhave legitimate grievances with the Westâ.’
should read
Hard to fight a war when our C-I-C, and his regime, think the terrorists are American gun owners and those who revere the Consitution.
“......our C-I-C, and his regime, think the terrorists âhave legitimate grievances with the Westâ.”.........
Hell, the American people have legitimate grievances against him and his ilk as well and have had for some time.
It appears to me that if the terrorists purposely hide behind women and children, it is them - no U.S. - who are killing them in warfare.
Most sane societies rush their civilians into shelters during wartime, no locate their bases next to operating schools and civilian population centers.
Conversely, in their unwarranted attacks on the west, it is civilians (soft targets) that they intentionally target! Very few terrorists’ targets have been against armed military or police. Just civilians.
This behavior shows cowardice, hate, and the true intentions of the terrorists.
But, with our own president being a cheerleader for the terrorists, and setting the “rules of engagement”, shows that it is NOT America’s women and children he cares about, it’s protecting a new crop of up-and-coming jihadists. The terrorists are treated more as obamas “countrymen” than Americans...but then, I haven’t seen any solid proof that Obama is actually an American...his actions say, “not”!
If they are targeting our civilians, and then cowing Behring the skirts of their civilians, then all bets should be off. If their bases locate nears population centers, and the civilians don’t have the inclination, or ability, to flee, then...war is hell. The nazis didn’t give fore warnings before bombing Europe, neither did the Japanese give advance notice at Pearl Harbor.
Did we let them know we were coming at Hiroshima, or Nagasaki? No, and it was horrorifc, but it ENDED THE WAR!
Make America Great Again
Patton: We’re not just going to shoot the bastards, we’re going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads on our tanks. We’re going to murder those lousy Hun bastards by the bushel.
....go through them like “#it” through a goose...
30,000 innocent French died during the Normandy landings as collateral damage.
We would lose WW2 if we used today’s ROE.
‘Hard to fight a war when our C-I-C, and his regime, think the terrorists “have legitimate grievances with the West”.’
Even harder when the alleged enemies are actually NATO proxies.
Obama admits that he’s training ISIS

The ONLY way to limit civilian casualties is to go door to door. It worked in Iraq, but that strategy is off the table for now.
So the murderers retreat underground or hide in civilian enclaves while we bomb an oil truck or ammo depot here or there.
It seems like all the gains that were made in the Iraq War (especially after the surge) have been relinquished and we’re pretty much back to square one.
The squandering of advantage is breathtaking in its scope.
Patton: Now there’s another thing I want you to remember. I don’t want to get any messages saying that “we are holding our position.” We’re not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We’re going to hold onto him by the nose and we’re going to kick him in the ass. We’re going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we’re going to go through him like crap through a goose!
Women wearing suicide vest detonates it when French police rush terrorist apartment in France
PBS shows terrorist training camp in Afghanistan teaching 3 year olds Jihad.
There are no “collateral damage” targets in this war against rabid Islam.
The big story here is that the US Military gave actionable intel to the French. So it seems the Obama admin had the intel but didn’t strike the targets. Obama has placed the US behind even the Frogs. Outragous.
Right! NATO proxies staged a terrorist attack in Paris.
There is no more time for these absurd childish conspiracy theories. This sort of black propaganda is actively participation on your part with ISIS.
That’s the one!
: )
Because Obama and his global administration don’t want the U.S. to lead anything - they want the United States to be contained.
