The issue is this: until we have an official document, spelling out the actual, real ROE, we are forced to make judgments based on articles and blogs. MSM reports probably will never produce such a document and they usually lack any military experience, and bloggers (for all we know) are giving their own assessment, not of the actual ROE, but w what somebody told them.
I have no doubt that the current ROE are faulty, but the only way to make any such judgment is to see the actual, official, printed ROE.
