Like Minded,

As I understand the ROE only allows a kill if the player is in the middle of a hostile act. This is why insurgents choose their firing points carefully and then walk away in full view of the place they have just mortared after the dirty deed is done. Or is that only the British ROE ? does the US operate to a different standard ? maybe the UK should too ?

In fact, stretching it a bit further, how about giving the Met police a couple of Apaches on loan or do you think they would hose down a bus full of Brazilian students by accident ?
