Er, that’s what she’s saying. We are so concerned about civilian casualties that the current ROE and tactics make us give up our big advantage.
Hi-intensity conflict is not appropriate for the area.
And worse than just ceding an advantage, the enemy is getting more and more proficient at using the ROE against us. For example, Taliban fighters will empty a rifle from a house, drop the weapon and walk out unarmed, knowing that they will not be fired upon, then go around the corner to another stockpile of rifles and take up a new position with a fresh rifle and full mags. It's sick.
