In his book, “The War on Warriors,” which was published last year, Mr.
Hegseth castigates military lawyers for imposing overly restrictive rules
of engagement on frontline troops, which he argues repeatedly allowed the
enemy to score battlefield victories.

Mr. Hegseth derisively refers to the lawyers in the book as “jagoffs.” The
term led Senator Jack Reed, Democrat of Rhode Island and a West Point
graduate, to ask Mr. Hegseth at a confirmation hearing whether he could
effectively lead the military after disparaging it.

Mr. Hegseth’s account of this period in his book and his Senate testimony
conflict with how battlefield rules of engagement were set during the wars.
Senior officers in Iraq and Afghanistan, such as Gen. David H. Petraeus,
came to believe that civilian deaths were turning the local population
against U.S. forces and feeding the enemy’s ranks. So these officers
emphasized protecting civilian life even if it meant that U.S. troops might
have to incur greater risk.

Ultimately, the rules belonged to battlefield leaders and not their
military lawyers. The axiom — “lawyers advise, and commanders decide” — is
a core piece of every military lawyer’s education, current and former JAG
officers said.

Remember when Trump tried to overturn
a court martial of a soldier for killing
civilians?

As if President Bone Spurs knows the
first thing about rules of engagement or

KICK ASS !!!

We do NOT need a very "sensitive" military - the kind
that agonizes more about 'collateral damage' and 'optics'
than about the actual deadly ENEMY.

You use the military when BAD opponents show up. Kick
their asses and don't apologize afterwards.

We need to retroactively pardon everyone convicted in Nuremberg. I
was just following orders is a valid excuse.

The problem with democrats is they send people to war to
fight the enemy and then put huge restrictions on what they can do
effectively hamstringing them.

"Hi Mr. enemy, do you give me permission to shoot you?"
And BS like that.

If you go to war, the object is to win not to play checkers with the enemy.

Democrats don't send people

USA and Germany mostly avoided war crimes 1944 and 1945. Germans
were willing to surrender. A lot of people died from Normandy to
Ruhr, but unlike in the east, the USA was not recruiting for NSDAP.
