I would be less inclined to take prisoners in this scenario. Some of these prisoners were taken at great risk to our troops, when they could easily have been dispatched. Maybe the logical course of action in this situation will result in a change of the ROE.
..current policy from the white house.....
I am fearful that Obama will continue on through the Wicked Gate without impeachment....
This is all deliberate, maliciously intended and purposeful in Obamas nefarious agenda of bringing down the west. Take down America, the leader, and the rest follows. Assange is just a little player like Rosa Brooks but cumulatively they have their effect. For Asssange? Obama eased his path. Much like Obama is easing the path for the OIC based UN to come into the US to hunt War Criminals.
Obama , culturally never was an American as he carries many chips on his shoulder and as we see from his old culture at many levels. He feels for his Kenyan identity, he feels for his muslim identity, and he feels his angst against white and America....
On top of it, Obama is a Muslim wanabe or Wahabe, I call him a ghazi.
One of the prettiest sounds on earth is the Muslim call to prayer at sunset.
Barack Hussein Obama as quoted by Nicholas D. Kristof in the New York Times - March 6, 2007
The FIRST thing Obama did as a newly elected Illinois State Senator was to attempt to declare a Muslim holiday. Obama sponsored Bill SR0110 in the 90th General Assembly to declare November 1, 1997 to be Islamic Community Center Day. It did not pass.

Because his biological father was a Muslim the Islam world thinks he is a Muslim.

All this brings on a interesting question... how can America have any struggle against Islam, or protect herself with the most powerful muslim in the world sitting in the White House?
Be wary, wary aware ....and wary, wary afraid...get prepared for more creeping sharia...more than what is coming out of the White House today
There is a bright side to this. Since its a known catch/release scenario our troops will be more likely to kill rather than capture when its left to their discretion.
Time to bring the troops home ,Screw this crap.
The new RoE’s I heard say that if a combatant throws down the gun he’s free to go?? Is that for real??
We are soooo nice, the US always gets to play ‘nice’. Isn’t that nice?
War is hell. Can’t help but think of how the Soviets forced the surviving German 6th Army soldiers to hobble to Siberia after they surrendered at Stalingrad.
Hope we lojacked their arses
Do you suppose they are trying to emulate the “successful” approach to catch and release of illegal aliens.
Catch, Execute, Release.
Do you suppose they are trying to emulate the “successful” approach to catch and release of illegal aliens.
There’s only one thing you can do with a war, and survive period. Playing at it isn’t it.
As it is these poor guys are dealing with ridiculous RoE as they're hung out to dry. What a disgrace.
WHO is making this decision??
Mike
Definitely time to leave.
They don’t want us there.
We don’t want to be there.
We don’t want to win.
Sure, there will be death and misery for the residents if we leave, but that seems to be the lesser of two evils in this case.
As I have said before, after supporting the aims of this war and the war in Iraq, its time to come home. Not a single American is worth losing for that wretched, corrupt country and if we arent going to win, get the hell out!
What ever happened to POW camps?
These dangerous people should be aimlessly shuffling about a barren POW compound instead of being released to become a problem and given the another opportunity to kill our people.
My unit caught a Viet Cong once, a 19 or 20 year old girl with an AK47. She went to a POW compound. She wasn’t released just because she was cute. And I sincerely doubt that these unshaved, unbathed Taliban even fit the cute category.
Then what in HELL are we DOING there?????????????????????????????????
