ROE loosened in regards to ISIS in Afghanistan

| January 22, 2016

Fox News and the Wall Street Journal report that the Pentagon has loosened the rules of engagement restrictions formerly placed on US troops in Afghanistan thanks to the State department declaring the “ISIL-K,” or Khorasan as the organization is known, a foreign terrorist organization;

The new authorization now puts ISIS in the same category as Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.

Previously, the militants could only be targeted if they showed what’s known as hostile intent.

“Now,” a U.S. official told Fox News, “we can kill ISIS in Afghanistan just for wearing the T-shirt or waving their flag.”

Well, while this is good news, it shouldn’t be news at all. That’s the way that it should have been from the beginning. ISIS has been operating in Afghanistan for more than a year, and the troops had to wait for bureaucrats to get off their fat asses and write a letter to allow them to kill the enemies of this country. I’m sure that John Kerry entertained the notion that he could negotiate with them before it got to this point.

Oh, regarding the change in ROE: ’bout damned time. I hope it’s not a year late and $1,000 short.

I don’t mean to be cynical, but the ROE’s will be loosened only until some intrepid warrior attempts to apply them. Those ROE’s are only as ‘loose’ as the commanders and politicians are willing to support them.

Oh, how cute. They finally agreed upon what the enemy preferred to be called and can now actually fight against them. The special is strong on this. Ineffective leadership displayed for all to see, but only us heathens can be accused of risking offending the enemy.

‘Cause, what ya call ’em is soooo much more important than defending the Republic.

Reality is they can now politely ask ISIS to stop shooting at them when they do now.

Whatta classic photo of the man who would be (a)Kennedy. I’m speechless. Res ipsa loquitor.
Goodness, maybe we can resurrect Macfriggingnamera and his geniuses to direct things. It worked out so well in Vietnam.
