Iraqi forces and U.S. coalition troops are no longer burdened by strict rules of engagement, which some say have turned firepower requests into bureaucratic nightmares.
U.S. Army Lt. Col. James Browning, commander of 2nd Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, recently spoke with reporters about a Dec. 26 directive that streamlined the process of delivering aid. The order, attributed to U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend, was confirmed on Thursday by Air Force Col. John Dorrian, the U.S.-led coalition’s spokesman.
“It changed the relationship [between forces],” Lt. Col. Browning told The Associated Press about increased flexibility on the battlefield. “It gives me a better understanding of how I can bring to bear the limited capabilities I have.”

Bert,
You found an implication, “your post implies we should know all, even secret stuff,” that I did not imply.
I have spent many years as an Army intelligence officer and afterwards being involved with declassification. I will state that I do BELIEVE that 95% of all military classified has a expiration date after which it can and should be declassified.
Make the other poor dumb idiot die for his country.
If Trump were president then, Benghazi would still be standing. In fact, a lot of things that happened wouldn’t.
See something, shoot something.
But when they do...shock and awe. Trump can only get so much done all by himself.
Thanks for the ping and your post. I agree.
Why discredit Trump? Don't doubt yourself. Trump had everything to do with this and you said so yourself.
“They are sinister people. They intentionally ruled over death.”
The only things that motivate these evil fascist bastards are abnormal sex and the deaths of Americans.
Praise the Lord! Our troops don’t have their hands tied any more!
Directly involved is all I said. I am in awe of his management capabilities. Saying he did not do this personally is a complement. It shows his utterly spot on judgment. Knowing who will carry out your orders is 90% of the battle of management. Making them come ask you for permission is a mistake.
He unleashed Mattis. It is magnificent. It is a true leader that can rely on the people he picked and know they will do as he visioned them. Trump does not need to get into the weeds unless there is a weed wacker needed.
MAGA.
Unleash the hounds and let them corner the prey. Trump can do the kill shot..... if he wants. Let him have his weekend.
;-)
lol...Sure....And you still have no idea if it was Trumps suggestion or if Trump was involved in the decision in part regarding ditching the ROE.
I am using something called logical thinking. Maybe you have heard of it?
If not, logical thinking is the process in which one uses reasoning consistently to come to a conclusion. Problems or situations that involve logical thinking call for structure, for relationships between facts, and for chains of reasoning that “make sense.”
Boy, what a load of gibberish that was.
In RVN, I had one Rule of Engagement for men in my Battery:
“Go Home Vertical, not Horizontal.”

Hey lesbian midget, do ya plagiarize much?
You actually had to Google that, then copied and pasted it word for word, into your post.

What a fake poser poster you are.
Wow, you are quite a jerk eh? First you call it gibberish, then you google it and bam... proven the fool you are, you then post again and attack me.
Yes, cut and pasted it. Looked for the technical definition of logical thinking. Highlighted it, right clicked, hit copy, returned to the post and pasted it.
Don’t msg me ever again and as some people say, GFYS.
ISIS is back on the menu boys!
You got had. You’re a fake poster! lol..
“Pentagon ditches onerous rules of engagement...”
With apologies to Arnold:
Crush your enemies,
see them driven before you,
and to hear the jubilation of the women.
