Magazine Exclusive: Rules of Engagement Keep Us From Winning Wars



MAGAZINE EXCLUSIVE:

As a subscriber to National Review's newsletters, please enjoy complimentary access to the cover story of our December 21st issue which normally would be behind a paywall. David French reports on the scandal of our restrictive rules of engagement:

Imagine if the United States had fought World War II with a mandate to avoid any attack when civilians were likely to be present. Imagine Patton's charge through Western Europe constrained by granting the SS safe haven whenever it sheltered among civilians. If you can imagine this reality, then you can also imagine a world without a D-Day, a world where America's greatest generals are war criminals, and where the mighty machinery of Hitler's industrial base produces planes, tanks, and guns unmolested. In other words, you can imagine a world where our Army is a glorified police force and our commanders face prosecution for fighting a real war. That describes our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
