The ROE are apparently classified but seem very pervasive. One troop said they can’t even get air cover. Pilots must see enemy muzzle flashes on arrival or they have to hold their payload. The muzzies just cease fire until the aircraft sail away, and then they fire away. Air cover is not even called in much any more. Pilots don’t want to be charged with murder or war crimes for violating ROE. Our ground troops even expose themselves to fire while aircraft are above to draw fire so planes can take a swoop. Crazy. War ala Obama.
