This is begging the question. The fact that some conflicts are waged with ROE shows that they're still self-imposed rule in at least some wars.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoMy point is that ROE are applied only by the side that feels very much sure of its power and ability to win the conflict. When you fight for your very survival, all rules go down the drain.
- omginternets 10y agoUnderstood, but my point was that this is usually not the case and therefore (mostly) irrelevant.
