Lol, thank you for having already changed the subject, and then proceeding to hypocritically accuse someone else of doing it, AS you do it.
i was meerly on subject untill you derailed it onto another one.
You have a really, really bad problem with honesty. You didn't like how the subject was going, so you changed it, and now you keep doing it while at the same time being oblivious enough to reality that you accuse someone else of doing it.

You brought up friendly fire, I addressed it. You completely stopped talking about it, and then immediately afterward you accused me of derailing the topic.

Get a grip on reality, buddy.

as i recall i posted it you adressed it , and then i posted some more information, which you adressed by staing the same information you made 2 posts ago.

so then i spot you on that, you then proceed to insult me, succesfully changeing the topic.

if anyone needs to get a reality check its you bud

Which, again, is a case of HUMAN ERROR, and not merely tactically ignoring collateral damage.

I dunno, why can't you punch a guy in the dick when you're boxing? Why do we have laws at all?

A law is just an agreement between two parties where they agree to not do something because the benefits of both parties refraining outweigh the benefits of the activity.

Just for arguments sake...

I think Rules of Engagement are in place to theoretically limit the extent of war's evolution. Happens all the time the most recent extreme change occured during the American Revolutionary War. Before that war for a long time soldiers lined up in long rows marching in columns and engaged one another on "designated" battlefields however the Americans (coached by the French and American indians) developed new tactics that were clearly "against" the established protocol for war by hiding and using guerilla type tactics.

I personally believe that the rules of engagement are really dictated by the evolution of the gears of war. Take for example Torture...which has beena big buzz word recently. The technology for torture haven't changed in forever...at some point, mark my words, someone will come up with a way to essentially torture someone that doesn't fall squarely in the realm of the current torture guidelines thus expanding the definition of torture and then that will evolve.
