I understand that we can not stoop to the level of the enemy, however I think we do need to understand that we are not combating conventional forces, and unconventional forces require unconventional methods. I could give dozens of tails where the RoE were overly restrictive, or worked to our severe disadvantage... | Come on tad,how are we going to win anything with that idea, sometimes you have to get down in the dirt with these(fine fellows) to get at them, and as a military man you should know this. we can't play by thier rules, we have to get un-civil in order to take control and make this world civil, in other words you can't make a cake without breaking a few eggs. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL THAT DEFENDS HER.. |
