"Or this Soldier could man-up, realise that he exists solely to satisfy a Political aim and if he doesn't like that then he should quite. We (or they) don't join up for all the good bits - if the aim is achieved by reducing the amount of shots fired, and the Politicians don't trust the Military to do that by themselves, then restrictive RoE is the result.
Yet again Yon fails to think and simply joins the outrage bus."
Maybe the Politicians should let the military do it's job
without tying one hand behind their back which always
seems to be a guaranteed strategy to fail.
Especially Politicians that haven't served.
And if they don't trust the military, maybe the Politicians
need to go.
Re Yon, what more could he add ?
He at least had done a fair bit more critical thinking on both wars
than some or most fly in, fly out Journo's. Plus he has done some hard
yards as well.
