According to the pansified liberal left and all the rest of the terror coddling spinless ilk, more de-escalation will win the day- evidently some 10,000+ years of proof that shows that 'negotiations with those who wish you dead' isn't quite enough proof that 'de-escalating tactics' NEVER work
And scarier yet is that I heard one of the captured sailors use the term "de-escalate" as well as the Admiral commanding the flotilla that the Cornwall was attached to.
It's not a ROE, it's a MINDSET!
