I guess it won’t be long before ever combat platoon has its own JAG attached to it!
With ROE like this, we might as well bring’em home. No sense in continuing the fight if victory is not the ultimate objective.
Want proof:
Actually, I think this is pretty common. I interviewed with the JAG a half-dozen years ago, and among the possible assignments was battlefield operational approval. My understanding is that most combat units have a JAG officer/ team for operational legalities.

I guess 0 wants to make sure Afghanistan is another Vietnam!
Remember back to the Gulf War when a president, who had learned the lessons of that war run by bureaucrats and lawyers, said “I will not send our troops to fight a war with one hand tied behind their backs!” ?
The president will continue his precedents here in America... as a part of his nefarious agenda.
Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas any more.
“I guess it won’t be long before ever combat platoon has its own JAG attached to it!”
With only one mouth breathing, bottom feeder in three able to find work as a lawyer, the above is just another example of wisdom and insight of the Obamassiah’s “shovel ready jobs” election promise.
Study carefully, the wisdom of the Obamassiah:
1. Jobs are created for lawyers. One in every platoon.
2. More soldiers are killed. The dead must be buried, - hence “shovel ready jobs” must be actualized. Or, as in this case, created.
BAH! HUMBUGGERY!
That is not a typo. Ask Larry Sinclair.
This is a joke, right????
Now we are also learning of the ultra liberal, America hating people Eric Holder has had join the Department of Justice.
Nuttin like tearing down America’s safety all at once, eh?
If Anthony Zini’s kid can ask for help, so can my Marine. We have nothing but time. We have the weapons, we aren’t under any time constraints (other than those of the politicians who want to score quickly), we can wait them out until hell freezes over, if necessary. Patience is a virtue and virtue is it’s own reward. As the Wicked Witch of the West once said, “These things must be done carefully, very carefully.” I’d rather see a kid with all the back-up in the world get the call from higher up, than have an itchy finger that lands him in a courts martial which gives the soft-belly jerks at home more grist for the mill.

You got that right. I don't want to send my two boys (or neighbor's kids) to fight with hand-cuffs behind their back!
It is time to get out now, and not submit our troops to this b.s.

Might as well attach Zampolit to every platoon
No...this is a joke.
The Department of Defense briefed the president this morning....
They told President Obama that 2 Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq.
To everyone’s surprise, he collapsed onto his desk, head in his hands,
visibly shaken, almost in tears.
Finally, he composed himself and asked, “Just how many is a brazilian?”
Uh oh!
just damn
That was pretty much my reaction too
