Rules Of Engagement Essay
Rules of Engagement (ROE) are rules or directives to military forces (including individuals) that define the circumstances, conditions, degree, and manner in which the use of force, or actions which might be construed as provocative, may be applied. They provide authorization for and/or limits on, among other things, the use of force and the employment of certain specific capabilities. Rules of Engagement do not normally dictate how a result is to be achieved but will indicate what measures may be unacceptable.
Obama's Rules of Engagement with ISIS is basically whatever actions are being take no civilians are to be collateral damage. I mean how would it look and how would people feel if they saw images of dead civilians especially dead women …show more content…
President Truman authorized atomic bombs to be dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. The two bombings killed at least 129,000 INNOCENT civilians. During the following months, more people died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness and other injuries. Six days after the Nagasaki bombing Japan surrendered and World War II ended.
Military experts say had the atomic bombs not been dropped and the war continued as normal the conflict would have lasted years longer and resulted in the deaths of millions of people.
Obama's current Rules of Engagement insures the physical (not ideological) destruction of ISIS will take forever and result in far more numerous deaths than would occur with a more robust response. Thank goodness for the Russians and the French (only due to a terrorist attack on their own soil) who will not be so timid and politically correct as Mr. Obama. Should ISIS attack on U.S. soil I expect Obama will pick up the pace, but who knows.
Good thing Obama wasn't Truman because if he was WWII would probably still be raging or we would all be speaking
