NO airstrikes near “civilian” populations. “Innocent” civilians might get hurt. Haven’t you heard?
Can you imagine being on the ground, taking a lot of enemy fire, and when you call for air support, there is none? The military should NEVER have signed off on Obama's Rules of Engagement (ROE) as he hasn't a clue. The Afghan civilians half the time are helping the Taliban which is what happened in this case. I guess Obama would rather see our troops be killed then the Muslims. If that is not the case, then he needs to withdraw his ROE's and let our troops fight the war not be sitting ducks!
