I posted recently about the posibility of being labeled an insurgent in the future, but I didn't post very well, and it was a flop.


I don't feel qualified to decide whether our troops should be pulled out of the Sand Box or not, but I think anytime they are in harms way they should be allowed to act in their own best interest first, and the best interest of bystanders second.........

Bystanders in a war zone have got to at least be aware of their situation, and make whatever efforts to survive they see fit, some "bystanders" are undoubtably somewhat active on one side or the other in some way....


If there are "Iraqi civilians" watching the IEDs being placed, and then watching our boys enter the kill zone without even trying to give any signal or anything, then it is a fine line or maybe not even that, seperating them from enemy status in reality even if not under the ROE.
