The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

ROEs are bullchips for the most part. On some occasions they make sense. More often than not....not. War is not pretty, innocents get killed and there you have it. Don't want to die? Get the fug out of the way.

That is just so much BS I can't see over the pile. That is a WAR over there, the whole damn country should be a free fire zone!

another instance of the total incompetence of this administration. the govt is riddled with rot from the top down.


the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee

That's the problem guys that isn't a war that's a police action. The troops over there are policing the area just like police over here police the area.

Just like Vietnam was a police action with some of the same types of ROE. We have not fought a war since WWII.

I would not join the military today if I were a young person. That's why I jumped at the chance to join the Guard in a unit that wasn't likely to see much combat back in the Vietnam Era as the draft was still in affect. I would have no qualms about defending my country and it's citizens but I draw the line with being a mercenary policemen in a hot zone with silly ROE.

You might convince some folks of that, but I'm not buying it. Kind of hard to sign off on the "police action" theory when you're crawling through a water filled ditch due to incoming artillery. In your skivvies. There were ROEs in WW2 by the way, more tactical than political reasons. Discipline wins wars.

Under our system of government and Constitution only Congress can declare war anything else is a police action. Sorry but that's the way it is. Only five wars have been declare by Congress.
