So the debate can roll on as to whether or not we should be there, but since we are, why the hell do we consistently tie the hands of our Armed Forces behind their backs?

KABUL – The U.S. commander in Afghanistan will soon order U.S. and NATO forces to break away from fights with militants hiding among villagers, an official said Monday, announcing one of the strongest measures yet to protect Afghan civilians.

Does this remind anyone of the ol’ “Hearts & Minds” bit we already went through some 40 years ago?  Could this type of strategy be why the United States hasn’t won a war/conflict since WWII?

Get ready for rash of criminal charges to be filed against our troops for protecting themselves.
