How many years have we been doing this? Longer than Viet Nam for sure. No progress.

Time to go home.

If this was happening to me I think my best chances of survival would be to curl up into ball in some depression in the ground and then not move and pray I go overlooked.

The old ROE had it so if fighters simply retreated into STRUCTURES, they were safe.

Another one:

Can’t shoot if you can’t directly see the bad guy has a weapon.

Solution..?

Guys simply DROPPED their weapon and were safe.

No more of that Kenyan idiocy.

I’m happy they’re dead but remember:

Each one of those blasts costs $115,000, minimum.

Looks like they used a SDB on a single guy!

He wasn’t single after though.

Killing individual fighters with hellfire missiles is a bit expensive

I spent 5 months in Farah in ‘08-’09.

We provided free medical care for the locals, they would line up for care a couple of days a week.

As a result, the locals really liked us.

We also hired them to rebuild their local canals which had been damaged by 30 years of war.

Again, lots of goodwill.

We had a big fire on base shortly before I got there, it was so bad the locals sent their fire truck to help out.

So, I don’t think it’s the locals that are the problem, but rather fighters coming in from other places. The Iranian border is only 30 miles or so away.
