What have we here

[Gato_Solo]

I'll try to explain the obvious. We, the United States , are a country. Our military wears a flag of our country on their uniform. Both things show unity & cohesion & fall under the umbrella rules of the Geneva Convention.

The terrorists wear bed linens & big flufffy hats. So do the average Muhammeds.

Now for the test:
Who said there are no rules?

Looks like somebody missed the LOAC briefing... (Law Of Armed Combat)...ROE section (Rules Of Engagement)...

Rule #1. Do not fire unless fired upon...

I made those meetings. They couldn't answer one simple question - How many times must we be fired upon before it makes once?

1983:
April 18th Eighty-three people are killed at the US Embassy in Beirut.
October 29th- 241 US Marines are killed in a truck bombing in Beirut

1984:
September 20th- The US embassy in the Beirut is bombed- 15 are killed

1988:
Pan Am flight 103 is blown up over Lockerbie Scotland

1993:
February 26th- A bomb explodes in the basement of the World Trade Center

1998:
August 7th – The US embassies in mairobi Kenya and Dar es Salamm Tanzania are bombed.

Just to mention a few

No mandate from the government. We could've done so, but who was the target? That, BTW, is another rule...Don't fire unless you're reasonably sure it's your target...One step at a time...

Brief explanation on how we fight...

The President calls, the senate decrees, the word comes down from on high. It's on full kits and sound board ships, we're sending you where you can die.
