How the hell do you put a man in that situation - and then second-guess him when something goes wrong?

Unreal that this is happening in a combat situation. This is so wrong!

Absolutely disgusting this is even in question. All they want is meat puppets that dance their political dance, but are too scared to pull the trigger.

I hope every servicemember worth a damn leaves the military, at their earliest convenience, and returns to defend their home and family; leave the military to the incompetent and the queer.

Let the POS that voted for idiots that order crap like this defend themselves. They neither deserve their freedom, or the blood of those that defend it.

It is long past time to stop putting up with this sh#t.

But at least the Pentagon is having a faggotry celebration.

I knew wars would become tougher to win and take longer to fight once the politicians and Fluking lawyers got involved. Those bass turds should be the first ones sent into combat. Maybe then they would understand.

The Pentagon celebrates sexual perversion while a soldier is put on trial for protecting his fellow troops.

They should be giving this soldier a medal.

Wow! I have a greater sense of relief after reading this that my son made it out of that hell-hole unscathed, especially given the impossible ROE our soldiers are forced to live (and die) by. Obozo is THE most incompetent CinC the U.S. (and possibly the planet) has ever seen. I offer my prayers up to God for the deliverance of this soldier, and any others, who are unjustly being held to account for nothing less than self-sacrifice that the politicians could or would ever make.

The JAG lawyers have infiltrated every level of command in the military. Commanders no longer dare take a piss without consulting one.

The charges should be dropped. And the REMFs behind pressing the charges, including the prosecutor and this ######## Lt. Col. Jimmie E. Cummings Jr., should be tried for aiding and abetting the enemy (i.e., treason) in time of war, and if convicted, shot.

Prayers for this soldier and his loved ones.
The reason that Afcrapistan has rarely been conquered is that everyone eventually realizes that this worthless land of ungrateful, Satan worshipping, little boy raping, mysoginistc cavemen with macine guns is not worth one drop of their blood.
That and a muslim pres—ent that hates the military and has no intention of winning a war against sunnis...

So let me see if I get this straight - our President, while enjoying his breakfast every Tuesday morning, selects targets off a kill list and collateral damage be damned, executes at will. SFC Taylor on the other hand....

If Obama had a son, he’d look a lot like SFC Taylor.. just sayin’

"[Our] main mission is to protect the Afghan people, and ISAF realizes that incidents of this kind damage the confidence of both the Afghan people and the government in ISAF," Lt. Col. Jimmie E. Cummings Jr., a spokesman for the force in Afghanistan, said in a statement to The Times. "We try to prevent accidental or unintentional casualties through a variety of measures which call upon our forces to exercise restraint during operations."

"[Our] main mission is to protect the Afghan people..."

AS OPPOSED to protecting our Troops and minimizing OUR casualties, while eliminating (read: KILLING) the bad guys.

Pretty much sums it up as to why the INSANE and INANE ROE's are putting our Warriors at [unnecessary] risk (even greater than normal) and WHY they need to come home, NOW!!!

From: Understanding the War in Aghanistan: The Surge

http://www.ndu.edu/press/understanding-Ch8.html

The United States decided to surge in Afghanistan to reinforce its commitment with military and civilian assets as well as more resources, but it took nearly a year to bring it to fruition. The foundation of the surge was laid by President George W. Bush in 2008, but the construction was completed under President Obama in 2009 and 2010. Studies on our strategy in Afghanistan began in the last year of the Bush administration. The most critical study of all was reportedly conducted under the auspices of the Bush NSC staff. There was a preliminary decision to recommend an increase in forces to President Bush, but it was delayed to give the new team a chance to study the situation and make its own recommendations. Early on, President Obama and his team conducted studies that incorporated the work of the previous administration. Bruce Reidel of RAND, a former CIA executive, supervised the efforts, which were facilitated by the continued presence on the NSC staff of Lieutenant General Doug Lute, USA, who managed the war for the previous administration and has remained an essential element of continuity in the U.S. Afghanistan policy.

President Obama's national security team examined three options. The first came from the field. General McChrystal recommended a beefed-up, population-centric counterinsurgency strategy. He identified two key threats: the vibrant insurgency and a "Crisis of Confidence" in the Karzai regime and the coalition.

Among his key recommendations were greater partnering, increasing the size of the Afghan National Security Forces, improving governance, and gaining the initiative from the Taliban.

MCCHRYSTAL ALSO RECOMMENDED FOCUSING RESOURCES ON THREATENED POPULATIONS, IMPROVING COUNTERNARCOTICS EFFORTS, CHANGING THE CULTURE OF ISAF TO MAKE IT MORE POPULATION FRIENDLY, AND ADAPTING RESTRICTIVE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT TO PROTECT THE POPULATION MORE EFFECTIVELY.

This last measure quickly showed positive results. ISAF-related civilian casualties were 40 percent of the total in 2008, 25 percent in 2009, and 20 percent to midyear 2010.6 His initial assessment did not include a request for a troop increase, but he later identified a favored option of 40,000 additional U.S. troops.

THANKS, McChrystal, you feckless, ASSHAT, MORON!!!
