I also heard this afternoon on the Howie Carr show (Boston WRKO), that the current rules of engagement were McChrystal’s. That soldiers should patrol areas where they were sure they wouldn’t have to load and use their weapons so as not to upset civilians. This is akin to police ceding vast areas to crooks, rapists, murderers, what have you. Not sensible. Plus if McChrystal had any common sense at all...he should have done his homework as a voter, read up on Obama’s background, etc., he should have known Obama was a Marxist. Why vote for him. I won’t be sorry to see him go. (Either one of them.) A pair of fools.
I would have thought these were Obama’s rules if McChrystal has not done stupid things like banning burgers and fries for the soldiers....... personally, as much as I think Obama doesn’t have all his oars in the water, I thin McChrystal may be just as bad — or worse.
