Thank you for your good explanation. I knew this too but frankly am just sick and tired of playing war with PC rules of engagement. Some of my students will often just look amazed when I explain the Rules of War, a Just War, et al and they cannot understand how the US military could have gotten a tie in Korea and a loss in Nam. I do and it makes me even more frustrated and sick of liberalism. Sick of PC anything. One wonders what will happen when the jihadists strike again and kill hundreds or thousands more. The Dems will want them arrested and give them legal help from the Justice Dept. Gadfrey Daniel!
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
That way you never burn your own fingers.
