So have we come to the point where warfighters are going to be prosecuted for hurting the enemy? Can we at least still taunt them?

SOOOO when the bullets start flying me hollering BRING IT MOTHER TRUCKER isn't allowed anymore...got it...If he violated the ROE's for the patrol then maybe but $#!+ you cannot predict when you are going to get into the crap when on patrol. Seriously this kind of witch hunt is going to make people think twice and that little hesitation will get them killed.

That is the worst part, the induced hesitation. When it is the quick and the dead you want to be on the right side.

If I'm reading the story correctly, he is being court-martialed for taunting them. Apparently he hurt their feelings before they shot them.

1LT William Clardy - Unfortunately, that is about as coherent as you can make of the situation there and they wonder why soldiers have trouble with the ROE.

Just gonna add, that's at least 12 sentences/paragraphs shorter than the RoE I remember from going doing ambush patrols on the DMZ way back when.

1LT William Clardy - But we were shooting at the Syrians at the same time as we were shooting at ISIS, plus antagonizing the Russians, and occasionally our NATO "Ally" Turkey.

Sounds like they're going with half the information on this situation, need to get the rest from those who were there to get the lowdown on what actually happened brother SFC Eric Harmon
