"We walked into a trap, a killing zone of relentless gunfire and rocket barrages from Afghan insurgents hidden in the mountainsides and in a fortress-like village where women and children were replenishing their ammunition."

While McChrystal worries about their "muslim sensibilities."
DAMN HIM!

That needs to be repeated. The enemy doesn't discriminate in who they use to help take out our boys, women and children included. If they survive a situation like this, our troops are court-martialed if they defend themselves and shoot back at the enemy. Unbelievable. The current ROE's are ridiculous.
