Why are we arresting our own for the killings of their citizens, if they have killed some of ours along with our allies? It seems they have no "rules of engagement" so why do we toward them? Of course we need a standard and some of our soldiers have done wrong but some have also been put in prison for protecting themself in a state of what they thought of as danger. Why are we trying to fight so humane if they are not?

Rules separate us from them, that's why. We need to present ourselves as not stooping to their level to maintain our credibility.

Credibility with the locals is HUGE.
But from a moral standpoint, we value life and freedom. We as a military force of the USoA should support those that increase liberty. Wanton killing is antithetical to this. If we don't have restraint and respect the rights of others, we're not only like them, we ARE them.

PFC Sugg we fight and engage the enemy under the rules of engagement that we have been taught since day 1 when we entered the service through ROE that has been established in each AO we currently participate in and we follow the guidelines of the Geneva Convention when it comes to Prisoners of War. As a world leader and nation we have to live and fight by those rules we set for ourselves as a military and a world force. We may not agree with those principles that we have set for ourselves and today's enemy (ISIS) clearly will not follow those rules, but it provides our service members with a roadmap and a humanitarian guide that must be followed. It establishes the discipline that we instill in our men and woman to follow no matter what the cost. When we cross over those boundaries we are held accountable. That may not be the answer you are looking for, but one we must follow!

Roger that sir. I don't doubt our ways of doing things and I have a clear understanding to just do what I'm told but I just had those questions. Your response makes total sense and provided me a better understanding.

PFC Sugg please keep in mind that my response was just my perspective on the subject and question you raised. If we didn't have that discipline in place as a world leader and military force, then our service members could become rogue and in the end we wouldn't be any better than our enemy! You've received some great answers and comments from other RP members as well.

We must hold ourselves to a higher standard than Da'esh, or we'll just be savages like they are.
