You know man thats about just wars America been in...In general. Instead of I dunno continuing with it and folks doing there anti war protests why dont they change the training somewhat to I dunno include better rules of engagement instead entire emphathise on "I'm the hardest mother fooker in the valley sha mon" which is all very well and effective I suppose but probably also causes a certain amount of detachment.

Level 5: Assaultive (Lethal Force). The subject usually has a weapon and will either kill or injure someone if he/she is not stopped immediately and brought under control. The subject must be controlled by the use of deadly force with or without a firearm or weapon.
How much fucking change do you want to make to them? T
Terrorist know that we will not shoot at unarmed people, often time when there come into contact with our forces they would drop their weapons and run to another building that had a cache in it.
