Thurmanation Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 My brother spent 16 months in Iraq 2 years ago. Everyone from their unit made it back. He said the #1 rule is forget about the "rules of engagement" shoot first. You can sort anything out when you get home.The # 1 rule is shoot first? That is disgusting. Anyone that adopts that rule should be locked up.I dont think you understand, the ROE state if you see someone with a weapon no matter if they look like an insane extremist or a child your not allowed to shoot them till they shoot at you, what hes saying is dont let thme have the chance to shoot at you, usually bad things happen when the enemy gets off the first shot.

jditty47 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 it aint paintball or a video game so there isnt much strategy involved in a war situation on somebody elses land. shoot first my friend shoot first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, sure as I'm sitting in the Theater of Operations, I assure you that you are incorrect in the bolded statement above, but will not go in depth in my response. There are many situations in which you do not have to wait to be fired upon in order to respond with a measured force of action. Well, we are here in Kuwait and hanging out due to so much snow in Afghanistan. Hope to get out of here soon though. Not sure how much time I'll have to do this there, but wanted to drop a quick one to you guys. Yes, all games are being recorded and sent to me for the upcoming season and I'll be able to keep track of what's going on !!! I'll be over here for the next year and hope to return to watch us in the SuperBowl next year !!! Take care you guys !!!ArmyBengal...

ArmyBengal Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 All is very well as I have the internet now !!! Everything else is everything else... The Taliban is still very strong and Pakistan could seem to care less about the terrorist training happening within their borders. Craziness abounds, but at least I have access to BENGALSZONE !!!WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I know the extension sucks, but hang in the Army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Hanging in is all any of us can do. For the most part the 3 months isn't a huge thing, but for those of us who have new kids at home, it's a little harder to swallow. ArmyBengal Jr. will only have a total of a month and a half, in his first 18 months with his Daddy. That just sucks !!! There are 3 other guys on the team with kids within 2 weeks of mine and 2 others that have had kids since being in Country. And it didn't take this extension to make people say, "F*CK Bush" either... People have been saying that for quite some time !!! Another hard part is seing the Air Force get deployed and only spend 6 months in Country. It's not their fault, but 6 compared to 15 isn't even close. Oh, and I miss another Super Bowl in the process !!! Oh well, 6 months down, 12 to go !!! At least I can get on here !!! Thanks for the support you guys !!!WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
