Isn't one of the rules if the person is armed, they're fair game? Both the US troop and Afghani troop could have fired at him and prevented the Afghan soldiers death. Again, I might not be right on the weapon in his hands part, and I'm not sure if my ROE statement was correct.[/quote]I believe these Operators are Green Berets, I think they were trying to snatch the fighters. Just a guess. As for the ROE, yes, they can be engaged if positive ID is acquired. The video only gived the perspective of one of the Operators, if any of the others saw a weapon then absolutely these guys can be killed. The reason the ANA went in is because eventually they're going to have to do this all by themselves so they need as much training as possible. [/quote]Alright, that's what I thought ROE wise. You're probably correct about the "trying to snag the Insurgents" part though. Still, sad to see the troops we're training lose their lives.[/quote]Trial by fire is what it is. You can't just train these guys in a bootcamp fashion, you gotta get them in the field, let them get real experience and yes, sadly it can cost them their lives.
