They have some really bad RoE’s over there from what I have read.

Maybe they’ll be allowed to have a round chambered as they patrol.

Looked like McChrystal’s ROE was a big problem with the troops.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

" one of the first things the general will do when he takes over in Afghanistan is to modify the rules of engagement to make it easier for U.S. troops to engage in combat with the enemy, though a Petraeus spokesman pushed back on the claim.

Troops on the ground and some military commanders have said the strict rules -- aimed at preventing civilian casualties -- have effectively forced the troops to fight with one hand tied behind their backs. "

If I recall correctly the softening of the ROE's were the ultra radical Obama and his administration's ideals and decision. It was said that the general Obama just fired was progressive left enough to adhere to this ridiculous order, this is precisely why he was hand-picked. A politically left leaning general thinks Obama was too radical and an idiot.How profoundly sad!!!

Something tells me Obama will not allow normal ROE's. Expect Obama to revise this call and return the ROE's so we lose and get more killed as it has been.

Obama wants terrorists read rights as well as he could care less that they use women and children as ploys to blow up many.

Think maybe he’ll quietly retract a few of the tough regs McChrystal enacted and let a few concessions back on the bases? Burger King, Pizza Hut et al?

I heard two reasons cited for removing them - one was that it slowed the transport of necessary lifesaving supplies to the troops out in the more dangerous areas, in which case I understand. The other “reason” cited was that it “wasn’t fair” to the troops out on the periphery because they didn’t have access. Which made no sense, but then that’s typical of this administration.

Ironicaly, General Custer won’t be able to find out, as he refuses to watch Fox News.

TRUTH? Or more BS from the Government/Media complex?

[Red Steel]

In case you didn’t see it Ping.

We need to stop kidding ourselves. McChrystal was taking orders from the very guy who canned him and from the very guy who replaced him.

[Palladin]

He’s going to allow the troops to have Pizza Hut and McDonald’s again.

Before they go out to be cannon fodder for the Taliban.
