I do.
It is absolutely the duty of everyone carrying a weapon to employ that weapon in accordance with the rules of engagement and the law of war.
- Bancakes 6y agoI have no active military experience but I have been trained in small arms and tactics. There is sufficient video evidence of US troops shooting to suppress an enemy when given an order to do so. I'm not rejecting RoE but I am referencing such scenarios.
- jki275 6y agoYou simply don't know what you're talking about. Let it go.
- Bancakes 6y agoI guess they never taught you basic infantry tactics or you've never actually shot at someone if you deny a concept like suppressive fire.
- jki275 6y agoIronic coming from someone who has never carried a weapon. A Soldier is responsible for every round they fire. Yes, suppressive fire is a thing, and it has nothing to do with what you're talking about. You don't randomly "suppressive fire" on things you can't identify. You don't randomly shoot at things someone "orders" you to shoot. You don't get to say "oh but LT dumbfuck told me to shoot that civilian" when you shoot a non combatant. In fact, by law you MUST refuse that order as it violates the LOAC. Go google that because I know you don't know what it means. You are responsible for every round you fire. There are plenty of former Soldiers in prison for not believing that.
- Bancakes 6y agoThat's some strawman for things I never said or implied. Let it go.
- jki275 6y agoNo, it's exactly what you said. I didn't make up any straw man, you believe that Soldiers on the battlefield run around randomly shooting wherever and whatever they want. It simply isn't true. As a Soldier, you are responsible for every round you fire.
- Bancakes 6y ago>you believe that Soldiers on the battlefield run around randomly shooting wherever and whatever they want. That's ludicrous and exactly what I'm pointing out as strawman. I will not repeat myself. I especially did not mention soldiers are not responsible for their rounds.
