I think they might try wounding for a while.
It would be nice to know that before they start shooting and our guys have to wait to figure it out.
Wait for it.....
our troops will only be allowed to use rubber bullets and carry pepper spray. (you think I’m kidding?)

Semper Fi!!!
He is an agent of the Saudis and Indonesia. The Saudi king loves what he is doing - getting American troops killed and the US military humiliated in front of the Islamic world.
If you think there is any plan to win or even a way to “win” in Afghan - you are delusional. It is a tribal country for thousands of years and it will never change.
A military source close to Gen. David Petraeus says one of the first things the general will do when he takes over in Afghanistan is to modify the controversial rules of engagement to make it easier for U.S. troops to engage in combat with the enemy.
Troops on the ground and some military commanders have said the strict rules — aimed at preventing civilian casualties — have effectively forced the troops to fight with one hand tied behind their backs.
At a news conference at the Pentagon Thursday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen said Petraeus will have the flexibility to make tactical changes. But he said that does necessarily mean changes will be made.
President Obama said Wednesday after he accepted Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s resignation in the wake of a magazine article in which he and his staff were critical of the administration that the change-up does not represent a shift in war strategy.
The issue is likely to be front and center in Senate confirmation hearings for Petraeus next week.
Fox News’ Steve Centanni and Justin Fishel contributed to this report.
If Petraeus needs to be confirmed, then he ought to keep his intentions private until he is in theater.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Shoot to wound?
Lets hope so for the troops sake.
It is time for Generals to be leaders of men, defenders of country, not politicians!
Hopefully ‘airstrike’ and ‘artillery support’ are back in the tactical lexicon-!
