Soldiers Ordered Not to Shoot Taliban as They Plant Mines… ‘Because It Wakes Up Locals’

8th October 2012

Read it.

Soldiers were ordered not to open fire on Taliban fighters planting mines in case they disturb local people, it has been claimed.

U.S. military chiefs ordered troops to exercise ‘courageous constraint’ and even warned them they could be charged with murder if they shot any Taliban without permission from above.

No wonder we’re losing.

    The second paragraph mentions ‘U.S. military chiefs’, but the rest of the article is about British troops. Are the British under American officers over there?
