Another e-mail:

I spent 21 years in the Air Force, and every time there was an idiot in our midst that gained notoriety, we received training. We stopped training to do our job in war, sometimes even stopped combat patrols in the Iraq no fly zones to be trained on some ancillary stuff that was inherent in being a professional, responsible airman. We got briefed on ethics, standards of conduct, rules for evaluating homosexual conduct, and everything else under the sun.
But it is never a problem to brief the ROE to make sure it is clearly understood by all combatants. But I can tell you, the more questions you ask, the more things the JAG Corps will tell you not to do. The legalese was infuriating. Better to stick with the basics of “if they are a clear and present threat to you or allied forces, then they can be engaged with proportional force to eliminate the threat”…
