save your concern for someone and something that matter
like the mother of the fallen comrade of spc benjamin mcquistan who took a bullet in badulah qulp fighting the taliban under obtuse obama's ridiculous ROE's
Taliban soldiers use rules of engagement against U.S. troops | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment
Quit trying to change the subject. You laughed at dead GIs. Typical right-winger.
The "Prof" has learned his propaganda lessons well.
Rabid, mouth-breathing partisan hacks laugh at dead GIs.
Not quite. A typical right winger respects our troops and the difficult job they're doing.

The point is, Obama's rules of engagement are incredibly unpopular among the troops, and it's getting soldiers needlessly killed.
How do they do that? Yellow bumper sticker?

What has changed?
• No night or surprise searches.
• Villagers have to be warned prior to searches.
• ANA or ANP must accompany U.S. units on searches.
• U.S. soldiers may not fire at the enemy unless the enemy is preparing to fire first.
• U.S. forces cannot engage the enemy if civilians are present.
• Only women can search women.
• Troops can fire at an insurgent if they catch him placing an IED but not if insurgents are walking away from an area where explosives have been laid.
You forgot:
1) There are a lot more troops in Afghanistan now:
That's irrelevant. They don't all fight at the same time.
It's the manner they're forced to fight now that is leading to an percentage increase in casualties.
Do not defend Obama's rules of engagement. It is truly pathetic what he's doing to these troops for political reasons.
So you're basically saying that the doubling of the troop count has absolutely nothing to do with the higher body count. Is that what you're saying?

are you saying these absurd ROE's have absolutley nothing to do with the higher body count?
Do you have any evidence they do? Or is this another you just know deal?
