'Operation Certain Death' inquest hears two British soldiers were killed by Taliban after mix-up over rules of engagement
Two British soldiers died in a fierce firefight with the Taliban after officers had argued for an hour over rules of engagement, an inquest was told yesterday.
Sergeant Craig Brelsford was killed as he tried to retrieve the body of a comrade who had been shot. Read It Here
(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.
