Well I think I read that there were something like 12 gunmen, all heavily armed with body armor, and there were like 4 NG soldiers. They chose to fight again another day. I wouldn't fault them.

Fault them? Nahhh..they all just got Citations for showing restraint.

I agree with you to a point. The National Guardsmen were outnumbered 2 to 1 by the illegal border crossers. It was smart of them to run away and finght another day.

But the rules of engagement are still out of whack, which is what the thread is talking about.

They were exceedingly lucky. Even Blessed. Were it me, I'd have told my guys to lock up a head shot and open up. Worry about Admin later. But I'll be damned if I'm going to allow...even facilitate an armed invasion of home soil by an armed foreign force! There would have been an inevitable international incident and given the current climate in this country, likely as not, I and those troops would have been arrested and extradited for trial in Mexico. So I guess it's a good thing I'm not there.
