  1. He’s deploying lethal forces with no regard for civilians, no accountability, no consequences.
    No duty. No honor. No restraint. No humanity. This is state sanctioned barbarism enabled by a silent and compliant Republican leadership.

  2. 2/ Why do MAGA-GOPers worry so much about calling it a war? I mean, Whiskey Pete renamed his department the Dept of War. Maybe they're just being "politically correct." It's okay to do that, apparently, unless you're, you know, ON THE BATTLEFIELD. #RulesOfEngagement

  3. Do european allies really want to fight with the US that wants "no stupid rules of engagement"... as Hegseth has said? While most european militaries would like to have a higher norm?

  4. So far, there’s no smoking gun. Worf role played a violent simulation and made a few unfortunate comments. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Hello. Retired USAF intelligence officer here.

    The F-16 flying unit I was assigned to had to deploy to enforce the no-fly zone over Iraq:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_no

    In preparation, the flying squadrons had various informational briefings, exercises, and briefings to commanders to show that they were prepared for the mission.

    One of the key questions would be this sort of scenario: You have a radar contact many miles off your nose. It's currently unidentified...we call that a bogey.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-se

    You can't shoot a bogey. It has to be positively ID'd as a bandit.

    Everybody was expected to know the rules of engagement and ID processes and sources of information.

    Getting that wrong in a briefing to the wing commander...was not career ending, but it was not good.

    Compare that to the situation today. :-(

  6. On Trump’s indiscriminate attacks on and murdering of people in the Caribbean and the U.S. military rules of engagement

    From the "Military Rules of Engagement: A Comprehensive Guide”

    “Military rules of engagement (RoE) guide how soldiers in combat roles should act. They follow both national and international war laws.”

    "If soldiers break RoE, they may face criminal charges. These rules help keep civilians safe during war. They aim to keep damage minimal and protect innocent lives.”

    "Rules of engagement decide when force is okay during battles. ..., soldiers must know the difference between civilian and military targets. This stops attacks that could hurt people not involved in the fighting."

    "The use of force protocol is key for military to know when they can act against enemies. It says that soldiers must know for sure who they’re targeting.”

    "Indiscriminate attacks are never allowed."

    #KegBreath: "We are doing away with #RulesOfEngagement. And Yes, you may put your hands on the people confronting you.

    Oh, BTW, we're going to send you into American cities to point your weapons at American citizens for training purposes." #FascismHasComeToAmerica #IfObamaHadDoneIt #IOKIYAR

  8. “We also don’t fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement, just common sense, maximum lethality and authority for warfighters.”

    🚶🏽‍♀️Nothing to see here kids, just keep on walking… just a normal Tuesday in 2025.

  9. Leadership & #lawyers at the #DOJ & the #Pentagon, & leadership in the #ArmedServices, worked closely w/ senior officers in the #Army to develop standing operating procedures & situation-specific #RulesOfEngagement aimed at minimizing the #UseOfForce.

  10. AP:

    Members of the #NationalGuard faced off w/ #protesters in #LosAngeles on Sun, & #TearGas was fired at a growing crowd that gathered outside a federal complex hours after the federal troops arrived in the city on #Trump’s orders.

    The confrontation broke out in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center in #LA, as a group of demonstrators SHOUTED INSULTS at the guard lined shoulder to shoulder behind riot shields.

    Tear gas for insults.

    #law #UseOfForce #RulesOfEngagement #Proportionality

  11. The principle of #proportionality is a #legal doctrine that requires any action taken by authorities, especially in the context of surveillance & #LawEnforcement, to be #proportionate to the objective being pursued.

    #Law enforcement officers should use only the amount of force necessary to mitigate an incident, make an arrest, or protect themselves or others from harm.
