That’s my take as well. I think it perhaps was not articulated clearly by Mr. Trump, but I believe he meant to express that under his leadership, our military would no longer have its hands tied with regulations and Rules of Engagement which prevent us from aggressively going after terrorists on the battlefield and which work against the safety of our personnel in the field.
It would be excellent to push Mr. Trump to be clear on this, because of the danger of meaning something that we all know is wrong. Not so excellent to get our hair on fire before he does.
And in any case to believe he wouldn’t get mongo pushback from military advisors if he adopted the worst take, is not to be realistic.
