Is that you John Wayne? You just lost all credibility there.
Perhaps you were former SF and are drawing on your past experience operating a convoy in a hostile area. Perhaps you were an helicopter attack pilot, and are well-versed in what the Italian's ROE were that particular mission.
or,
Perhaps you should leave the war-fighting to the professionals and keep your editorial comments to yourself.
First Off Lav Jet Driver I'm Not Attacking any of our Brave Men and Women that continue to serve and Protect this great Nation. I Only want our Military to sucseed in any conflict I want them to be the best trained and Armed that my Tax dollars can Buy!
Do I think the Euro's could do alot more "YES" you did hit a good point on ROE and Yes alot of the Euro's have alot more restrictive ROE when it come's to conducting Combat Op's in a war zone.
Look at Italy for example flying F104ASM Starfighters into 2000? most of there Tornado's, AMX don't have Link 16 or NVG capabilities or the ability to self Laser PGM's or other smart munitions. This goes on with alot of other eruo countries there just now starting to update there aircraft.
Now Polands getting some good F-16's think there Bock 50 but there not getting the M4.2+ update like our Block 50's but atleast they are buying an aircraft that is capable of fighting in the current war zones our forces are engaged in and our contributing forces and our alot poorer then France, Germany oh and the Netherlands.
