Politicianshave interfered so much with combat, they made soldiers scared to shoot. Personally, I wish we could have, I just didn't want to be in Levenworth. During my 2nd tour, our officers stressed they'd nail our ass if we were in the wrong. Obviously them and I had 2 way different deffinitions of wrong.
