Apologies Olddude your question:

I ask the question ... otherwise you don't engage even with weapons, unless ordered or fire upon. You know what the fuck you are talking about guy ...

Not only is your eyesight defective, your hearing must also be impaired - you don't engage even with weapons, unless ordered or fired upon Now if you are actually interested in the truth of what happened that day go back and read the transcripts, watch the video and listen to the conversation. At every point in the process the crews of Helos Hotel Two-Six and Crazy Horse One Eight inform as to what they are seeing and request permission to open fire from their Controller. All, repeat ALL, debriefings of this incident and subsequent reviews and investigations have proved that correct procedure and application of ROE in force WERE FOLLOWED to the letter.
