(RG) I know that we must act in a professional manner but WTF this operation should have been called `operation manslaughter due to red tape and PC bullshit`. My rules of engagement are “Kill the B****** before he kills you” It wont be long before we go back to a yellow card rule I used in Northern Ireland, how long before a Taliban fighter uses tax payers money to sue a British soldier for injuring him illegally in a fire fight? We will always have the `fog of War` from time to time but the best guys to assess the situation and take appropriate action are the men and NCOs on the ground talking incoming and casualties.
