Still isn't very understandable there, Jtf2. What kind of "ops" are you talking about?

The rule can be used in Nuclear warfare if it's needed

In Cambodia, in 92, the UN ROE was: don't shoot back unless fired upon....it meant "fired upon", not left or right but "upon"....that was basically fire back if you are not dead.
Soon after deployment, a Dutch armed radio operator was escorting some UNMOs (Unarmed Military Observers OK....United Nations Military Observers). They were stopped at a checkpoint manned by some local governmental soldiers. The UNMOs disembarked and went to start negociations and one local pointed his Kalach menacingly to the team leader. The Dutch soldier shot him in the leg...
That turned into a scandal and the poor Dutch guy was sent back home for over-use of violence!!!
The UN lost credibility and enjoyed a non-stop wave of attacks on its people and looting of its warehouses for the duration of the mission...
The UN did not show any resolve and lost face!!!

that subject of fire when fired upon is quite good. if i see the enemy and he sees me, but does not fire i will pump him for what he is worth( which to me is nothing since his job is to kill me).

You're a hard man, Sniper, how about heading to the Welcome Center and giving us an introduction.
