Obama’s Afghanistan Surge was coupled with tightened Rules of Engagement aimed at winning the hearts and minds of the locals. The ROE’s restricted how soldiers could fight the Taliban and cost plenty of lives, but it appears that ISAF’s Hearts and Minds project has hit a new low.
When reading this keep in mind that half of deaths in Afghanistan under Obama were caused by IEDs.
Soldiers were ordered not to open fire on Taliban fighters planting mines in case they disturb local people, it has been claimed.
The pathetic, politically-correct rules of engagement policies brought into the U.S. armed forces in recent years are dangerous, nay suicidal.
Under Obama this has got worse. Soldiers should be allowed to do their job properly, and that job is to fight. Taliban should be shot on sight. This is a war for fuck’s sake.
Obama should not tell generals how to do their job. Let them organise war their own way.
Obama has to go.
My rules of engagement would be to drop daisy-cutters on any village suspected of harbouring Taliban. Kill first and ask questions later. If they turn out to be innocent civilians, well, it’s too bad. It’s certainly the attitude the Germans had when they killed my two uncles in WWII – without the “ask questions later” bit, so they should be grateful we’re giving them that.
