Okay, is it correct to say that the ROE have changed now? I’m only asking because the info in the news release is nominal right now.
Sadly, it will take a while for any genuine change to trickle down to the line animals.
Those who were political devotees of the prior administration will certainly drag their feet in unshackling the troops from the stupid.
It will take some rather severe steps to fix the current sorry state of things. Not sure that Mr. Trump is willing or able to do so.
Yet.
He does, however, seeem to learn rather quickly. I remain hopeful.
The ROE doesn’t cover green on blue attacks.
Regardless of how tied our hands have been when attacking the enemy, we always have had the right to return fire in self defense.
Let us pray for the swift and full recovery of these brave young men. Now, once your barrel is aimed in my direction ALL bets are off. ROE? You engage, there are no rules.
Never trust a muslim.
