The previous administration's policy was to leave the men and women on the ground exposed -- to both enemy fire and litigation from their own country. The ROE's enforced on the soldiers turned them into lawyers on the battlefield rather than what they're trained/supposed to be doing. I've heard this from multiple sources as well. Some of the specifics are pretty gruesome, like ROEs that wouldn't let fire bases respond at all to mortar bombardments. 1 1

The ROE's enforced on the soldiers turned them into lawyers on the battlefield rather than what they're trained/supposed to be doing. That cost lives. Worse, the previous (several) administrations left the military vastly unprepared for the two decades worth of endless war we've asked them to perform. This administration's policies put the soldiers lives first, and they love him for it. It's not a controversial idea, it's just a fact. What happened in terms of the show of force is 100% in line with that policy/philosophy. Turkey endangered our pilots -- so a (non lethal) message was sent to deter that from repeating. I spoke to a vet today, unrelated to the politics of the day. He volunteered how “amazing” his recent visits to the local VA have been the last couple years. Quite a change from years past, he said. 3

The account from numerous officials came during an afternoon closed door meeting with congressional leaders in the Cabinet Room of the White House on Wednesday. In the meeting, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reportedly brought up dissenting views towards the president's decision to withdraw the vast majority of roughly 1,000 US troops stationed in Syria. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-says-jim-mattis-most-overrated-general-2019-10

Deranged Rhino Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 The media (especially NBC) is not your friend. They're not truth tellers or objective journalists. They're partisan warriors from top to bottom. 3
