I got into a hell of a roe with JAG officer at a Naval conference, when I called him out on the ROE being total dog crap designed to scapegoat the on-scene commanding officers and shield the flag officers.

I found arguing with any JAG an exercise in futility. They always reverted to the “Nothing in these ROE prohibit a Commanding Officer from taking actions necessary in the defense of ...” If you take out a perceived threat and remain unscathed, they’ll argue it wasn’t a valid threat, since you suffered no damage. No-win scenario.
