Clear means clear the enemy. If they don’t have a weapon we are told to leave them alone.
Search and Destroy is better. You don’t have to come back.
We shouldn’t be tramping around in the boonies looking for the enemy if we allow them sanctuary where they can run to saftey. If your gonna chase ‘em, CHASE ‘EM TILL YOU KILL ‘EM. Don’t stop at no damn border.
And we need to get rid of these Rules of Engagement. Sound like something you’d read in a book on dating. The rules are Kill THE ENEMY. If civilians die, guess what? Thats part of war. The sooner we win the war the sooner civilians stop dying. Use arty, air 24/7.
I have to agree with your statements. Our civilians died, that’s why we are in this bleeping crap hole of a country. And no, it isn’t about the oil!!!!
