  1. 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?

    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. :-(

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
