God, I hate reading shit like this. Do you have any idea how ungrounded and disconnected from reality you sound when espousing an opinion such as this?
As anyone who has been shot at can tell you, when being fired upon, the target must either flee, shoot back, or, in a situation where the Geneva Conventions are respected by both sides, surrender. [sarcasm]I suppose a fourth option is to attempt to arrest while under fire and make the arrest or be killed.[/sarcasm]
I hope sincerely that you are never in a position to determine operational procedures for the military. I'm left to believe that either your bias has you more concerned for the welfare of those that desire to kill U.S. troops than that of U.S. troops or you're pitiably naive. Sadly, a naivete that may only be cured by an event of significant personal trauma.
