Rules of Engagement.

The policy of not giving marines bullets at foreign embassies seems to be an evergreen issue. Apparently, Hillary Clinton signed off on the policy that applied to the guards in Benghazi.

The policy undoubtedly makes sense in Paris or even Moscow, but why would any person think it made sense in the Middle East? Clearly the decision-makers aren't complete idiots, so what was their reason for the policy?

Rules of Engagement states, Nothing in these rules of engagement limits your right to take appropriate action to defend yourself and your unit.

A. You have the right to use force to defend yourself against attacks or threats of attack.
B. Hostile fire may be returned effectively and promptly to stop a hostile act.
C. When US forces are attacked by unarmed hostile elements, MOBS and/or rioters, US Forces should use the minimum force necessary under the circumstances and proportional to the threat.
D. You may not seize the property of others to accomplish your mission.
E. Detention of civilians is authorized for security reasons or in self-defense.
REMEMBER
1. The United States is NOT AT WAR
2. Threat all persons with Dignity an respect.
3. Use minimum force to carry out the mission
4. Always be prepared to act in Self-defense.

How the hell are they suppose to use the ROE if they have no Bullets? Why are they deploying our men to a suicide mission? If I was on that mission I would be pissed as all hell if I had to go without the proper tools to accomplish my mission. This is BULLSHIT!
