For People Unclear On The Concept, war is a deliberate intent to get people killed, as many of the participants as is possible. In the more modern, civilized centuries: The Killing of As many non-combatants as is possible, has been included in the concept.
Now the U. S. Troops in the field are noticing how this works. Actually, it doesn't seem to work very well for them at all: Like Military Supporters all clearly intend.
Marines push deeper into Taliban stronghold - Afghanistan- msnbc.com
Any pretense that the Debacle of Afghanistan, on behalf of the Karzai Brothers, is somehow U. S. defense is dispelled, now just noting the comments of the troops in the field. Even in a race riot, police can shoot to kill. Not so in Afghanistan.
"Marines said their ability to fight back has been tightly constrained by strict new rules of engagement that make their job more difficult and dangerous. Under the rules, troops cannot fire at people unless they commit a hostile act or show hostile intent."
'I understand the reason behind it, but it's so hard to fight a war like this,' said Lance Corp. Travis Anderson, 20, from Altoona, Iowa. "They're using our rules of engagement against us," he said, stating that his platoon had repeatedly seen men dropping their guns into ditches before walking away to melt among civilians."
"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
