Eh.... not defending them on this thread? ......thats debatable...

The best way to eliminate a terrorist organization is to fight like them...Period... (No not kill innocent people) In order to defeat your enemy you must understand them on the military level...And because of ROE (Rules of Engagement) and Utopian fanatics like yourself, which you most surely support on all levels and situations....OUR guys are dying because we're letting "goat herders" strapped with AK's and IED's walking by with their "goats" are not directly shooting at us, we cannot engage and take them out....Even when one of those Sons of bitches has an AK pointed right at one of our SEALs heads in a reconosaince (that means no ones fighting yet. or non combat situation, mainly an observing type of scenario) WE cannot engage until that SOB drops our guy first... Because lord knows people like you will hold our guy responsible and label him a cold blooded murderer... THAT is a major problem which you most undoubtedly support... I'm a supporter of ROE..But not in all types of scenarios and situations...That's just one example above...

Since you love reading books so much...Read "Lone Survivor"...It will drop you to your knees...And if it doesn't..well..Enough said...
