Rules of Engagement - Official - You must be shot at before you fire, you must not remain engaged against a fleeing target, etc...

Rules of Engagement - Unofficial - He had a gun - He is dead - He can't say he wasn't shooting at us.

Sure you can get into some trouble with that - and some have - but that is because they used the logic to attack first and ask questions later. A keen eye, constant vigilance - will keep you alive more than most realize. Its not perfect - but if they are shooting at me - I consider it a "high intensity conflict" regardless of what some politician says.

As an old expression from my former line of work states:
"Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6".

Here endeth the lesson....

If your job requires you to go..you go...especially when you KNOW before hand that this particular job COULD put you in harms way...
