[QUOTE="brian_dc:578878"]I'm a form of liberal, so maybe this won't reach you. As unfortunate as it is that politicians set the rules of engagement miles and miles away from the situation. This is not a democrat only policy. Rules of engagement have been set up by political standards for a very long time. I guess it's the way that we feel under control and take some of the pressure off of the troops. Sort of like a fail safe button or something. Honestly, I don't like it, but I know it's not without reasonable precedent. The rules of engagement that the troops are under currently were set by the republican legislation, specifically by the president. Admittedly, they are less restrictive. For better or worse. What this proposal is actually doing is challenging the power of the adminstration. Democrats are in power, so they are realizing what decisions the president has made that they can undermine. This is, sadly, bullshit political posturing that will doubtfully get anywhere. Oh, and apparently there were already rumors of certain generals complaining that the current rules of engagement handed down from the president were overly restrictive. [/QUOTE]
