I suppose no matter what war you fight there are always going to ROE's that conflict with the aim of the War.
Wasn't it Vietnam that had the visual identification rule for air to air engagement that at a stroke negated the advantage of the Phantom and its at the time advanced Air to Air missile Sytems.
It also brought to the fore ( at the beginning ) that the Phantom wasn't armed with a gun, something previously considered outdated which was hastily rectified.
