My question is who would join the military if they knew in advance the rules of war that would be placed on them before signing up. I joined the Marines during the Vietnam War and we had some very stupid rules of engagement that were placed on us. There is no doubt in my mind that it is even worse now. There is also no doubt in my mind that these rules have killed so many American personnel. It would be great to hear from the ones that have served in these recent wars their opinions.
