Please read this jaw-dropping aricle about the ROE in Afghanistan which causes insurgent bombers caught red-handed to be released to bomb and bomb again until they kill or maim Americans and our allies.
Madness. This will bring a level of morale as bad as I can imagine. Talk about bitter troops. Talk about abandonment of our troops by our generals in the name of PC uber alles.
Love those geniuses Petraeus and McChristol! And Bush loved this PC crap as much as Obama.
If this is all just a crime to be handled in court,, why don’t we send in the FBI in a Crown Victoria?
We have become a joke.
Nothing about this administration surprises me any longer. Pure evil.
General Betrayus was chosen for a reason.
>>This will bring a level of morale as bad as I can imagine.
I am not at all sure this isn’t intentional. It is certainly a top Occam’s Razor explanation.
It is time to get out of Afghanistan. Actually, time was up probably 7-8 years ago. We should have stopped at “punitive expedition” and not gotten into “nation building”.
I have a young friend who’s a SEAL; he’s concerned about the ROE and the new regs concerning the SEALs.
This is what happens to a politicized army. Having the military subordinate to the civil authority is not the same as what we have today. We have military commanders and troops, subjected to the UCMJ, being told what to do and how to do it by people not subjected to the UCMJ.
The Royal Navy is in a similar boat (no pun intended) concerning the pirates off Somalia.
Petraeus is a politician but not a general. No general abandons his troops to the mercy of the enemy.
Bring our troops home...TODAY!
Hmmmm seems they might get blowed up real good planting those IED’s..... prisoners of this caliber are not worth having. Put em on their own devices and function as designed is how I would handle such BS ROE’s.....
