Rules of engagment.

How do we act under fire? How do we go about engaging fire?

It's combat and rea-life with bullets flying and people dying. That's real combat. Well, Rules of engagment is one of the best flim documenting on a real court martial on a col. I believe that's no set of international rules to clearly define death in a war, or casulty to hold a person on murder sentence , other than e rules of engagment. What caught me in the show, is that if the col is to follow all the directives in the rules, he would had lost more man.

To a deeper thought, were this rules make for war? Had these people who set these rules ever in combat? or these laws being draft by comabt personels after war? Will more people die because of these rules?

Often than not, rules are make to be broken. They are there not to create a boundary, but more to define the differences in the boundary. The differences in decision made by people. What makes human so outstanding is because we are able to classify and differentiate. But, we can never draw a straight line across an edged surface. We see things in all angles and perceptivity , and all is left to see is an argumented line.

How do we truely define something without absolute and
unmitigaed understanding? Remember we are not omnipotent

I am always a non-believer in rules.
