Dont shoot back!
Dont pick the poppies!
And dont bother the women and men in burqas!
These are the new rules of engagement for leathernecks in Afghanistan.
Sound incredible?
Theyre true.
Welcome to the modern Marine Corps under Commander-in-Chief Barack Hussein Obama
On July 1, the U.S. military initiated Operation Khanjar or Strike of the Sword, an invasion of the Helmand Province by 4,000 Marines and 650 Afghan soldiers.
Strike of the Sword represents the first military operation to be ordered by President Obama.
The purpose of the campaign is to flush out Taliban operatives from southern Afghanistan in order to safeguard the re-election of Afghan President Hamid Karzai on August 20.
The military initiative is being conducted by the insistence of Kharzai, who fears that a strong Taliban presence will produce unfavorable results for him on election-day. To accomplish this objective, President Obama remains determined to deploy 68,000 additional U.S. troops to southern Afghanistan within the next six weeks.
But the Marines, thanks to Mr. Obama, are conducting this mission with their hands tied.

Shades of Vietnam. But then again, our muslim president protecting his muslim brothers. This is BULL.
I’d say what I feel the military’s response should be, but the DHS and the Secret Service would then pay me a visit. ;)
God Bless and protect our Military men and women in uniform.”
Amen Holly! AMEN!
(Pinging you to another thread right now. I'm in no mood tonight for this clown and his henchmen.)
I need confirmation.
Maybe what we need is to step up the prayers for the troops. Obama is signing the death warrant of our troops with stuff like this. I can’t think of any better way to decimate the military - through injury and people not re-enlisting. Who would want to serve under a CIC who does not have their best interests at heart, who would side with the enemy rather than our own country’s troops... Every time I think I have seen it all with this man, I am shocked once again. Prayers for our troops and prayers that the eyes of the nation would be opened, that all can see what this impostor is doing.
Ping. Sit down and shut up Bambi!!!
I understand he had to produce a Birth Certificate to prove he could serve his Country.
Hey Obama, keep dressing your kids in Peace Sign shirts you gutless jackass. May God have mercy on your pitiful Soul.
In my 55 years on this earth, I would never have guessed our downfall would be from a Political Party full of Domestic Enemies.
Keep your friends close, but keep your firearms closer.
Are you serious? Don’t shoot back!?
You mean to tell me that if they are listening to bullets wiz by them they can’t return fire?
We ought to take to the streets (I’ve been saying that for a long time now) if we hear of any our boys dying, or getting wounded, over there because of this commie load o’ s**t!
I hope the soldiers dodging these bullets have sense enough to disobey this.
Any soldiers on this forum that could clarify?
And since when can the government force soldiers to be, essentially unarmed, target practice for our enemies?
WTF is going on?
Can’t a soldier say: “If I can’t shoot back then no war exists and I won’t be a play toy for those that want me dead.” and refuse to serve?
I wouldn’t blame them one damn bit for this.
If I can’t defend myself then I am nothing but meat for the enemies killing pleasure.
How can this be legal/allowed?
I hope a lot more Americans figure this out and fast. I have been sounding this warning for the last 18 months with very few people listening. I have lots of friends and family in the field and saw this cluster #### get himself in office and predicted this. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass how many servicemen get killed as long as he cements his domestic power. Where are the law enforcement types on his birth “certificate?
He wants to get our boys killed.
I think there is a reason for it. "The Messiah" doesn't like the U.S. or U.S. colonial/infidel power. He is Muslim himself so why should he want U.S. soldiers to shoot his own?
Our military soldiers shouldn't have to stand for this. There is no reason for our finest to be sitting ducks.
I can see why he is so frightened over Honduras.
This story is either wrong or there is more to it because such an order is UNLAWFUL. Soldiers cannot legally be odered to ineffect commit suicide.
American soldiers, please come home. We need you to protect us from a dangerous terrorist cell that wants to kill U.S. citizens. They’re called Congress and their evil leader is Barrack Hussien Obama.
Coming next! Obama tells the American citizen, yes you have the right to own guns....But you don’t have the right to shoot or defend yourself with them...
No way I’d fight under these rules of engagement. I’d desert, or just disobey them first.
Not that Obama cares, destroying the US military has been a cherished dream for liberals for decades.
Any soldier needs a safe haven from Obama’s thugs, look me up, I’ll cover for you.
Yes, there were weeks where 500 died. 16,592 deaths in 1968 averages to 319 a week. I didn't mean to convey in my post that an average of 500 died weekly during the entire conflict.
