Do you guys think the American Military is becoming the British Army when we fought them in the Revolutionary War (when it comes to ROE)?

The atmosphere of the gentleman warfare during the Revolutionary War where we are hindered by ROES where other countries that are in the UN coalition during OEF have totally different ROEs than the Americans.

No, not at all. However, the Administration definitely looks a lot like King George.

I teach ROE and Law of Armed Conflict rouyinely and get questions like this a lot. In response, I usually ask when was the last time you read the SROE. Its actually very hands off. All you need is hostile intent/hostile act. Hell, a declared hostile force can be killed on site without HA/HI.

I don't see any correlation between the two. If that were the case, we'd reflect an ROE of an imperial military that is solely for the profit of our government. Though it may seem that we are similar on a global scale on an individual perspective; our strategic goals are not that of resources and riches but for the sovereignty of allied freed nations to further the advancement of man. Kind of hard to accomplish when most people still cling on to archaic means of trade and life style.
