If this is how Obama wants to fight, then the fight is already over. It’s not bad enough that the Obama regime is purging military commanders and taking Christianity away from the troops, but the rules of engagment have handcuffed the troops due to politics, and that is getting men killed.

73% of all troops fatalities there happened in the 45 months since Obama took office. The number of wounded has also gone up an incredible amount: almost 5 times the number of people have been wounded under Obama as under Bush.

These are amazing figures, and need to be explained. Why have so many died under Obama, when proportionately so many fewer died under George Bush’s watch, even though he began this war, and waged it longer?

The answer is easy to provide. Under Obama, the Rules of Engagement (ROE) have been progressively tightened, limiting more and more the circumstances under which a US serviceman can use deadly force. Worst of all, the ROE has become so complicated that soldiers are scared to fire for fear they will face a court martial. The aim of the changing ROE is theoretically benign: every attempt is being made to guard against civilian casualties. But US soldiers are facing people who are indistinguishable from civilians in almost every way, until they start shooting or set off a bomb. How do they know if someone involved in suspicious activities is a civilian or an insurgent?
