What about all the "Lessons learned", GSO? I'm certainly no expert but from all the reading and from what I have heard in the past about the military past this article, if true, smacks of Vietnam, Somalia, Beirut. GD it!

So what I am getting out of that article, is, that when we get attacked from the taliban, we can't return fire? That's ****ing stupid.

WTF If that is the way he wants to run a war, why don't he have us pull out. Better yet send his ass overtheir and get shot at. see what would happen then.
Just my 2cents.

I think it's an attempt to win hearts and minds??but any blanket order to not return fire is pretty weak in my opinion. I would put more trust in the small unit leaders to direct and conduct the actual battles on the ground. As far as not harming the crops I can understand trying to allow them to earn a living but they'll probably not switch to food crops anyway...
