Only under Obama. Where the rules of engagement are not to engage.
That’s laughable to think that any rules of engagement changes would make any difference. Do we intend to be more brutal than Alexander the Great? Do we intend to be more brutal than the British Empire of the 1800s? Do we actually think we can be more brutal than the USSR?
There is no level of brutality or rules changes that will give some sort of a “victory” in Afghanistan.
