If it is to allow the soldiers to fight and perhaps win, then McCrystal has had a win in my book.
If you think we can “win” in that tribal, corrupt, medieval society, you are heading for a major dissappointment. They are are the graveyard of empires, ROE or no ROE.
That's an excellent point!! McCrystal threw himself under the bus, but maybe he got his point across. His actions may save many American lives!
I’m wondering if this was in McChrystal’s plan - to land Petraeus the job, putting Obama over a barrel so he’d HAVE to do what Petraeus demanded.
