TBF a hostage situation with an active shooter is kinda what SWAT type teams were created for.

Then again, the original SWAT and ESU teams prided themselves on not shooting people.

No, I'd agree that the military has a better track record of prosecuting people for this kind of poo poo than civilian prosecutors do against negligent cops.

Off the top of my head, I can think of at least one O2 who is serving a life sentence for ordering a gun truck to open fire on a family that was following them too closely in Afghanistan. How many cops have been prosecuted for killing unarmed, innocent people when they felt scared?

This is a very familiar conversation, so I'll just summarize.

Many of us had stricter rules on escalation of force while deployed than most stateside police, but there are others who refuse to believe this is true.

Quality posting direct from my brain to your face holes.
In ‘08, 90 of us had 2 districts or 200,000+ afghans who needed a nation built, problem was reconstruction funds were drier than pashtun pussy swaddled in taliban-grade niqab. So we got creative with our mission. Turns out the next best thing to brick/mortar, a sense of security, and faith in democracy is mortar shrapnel. lol we mortared the gently caress out of those stupid people every time they let a rocket come out way. Our company was sliced out to a pog battalion who didn’t understand fire support so they just let do what we wanted. I can def say if you hand a soldier an unlimited supply of ammo and no dollars then tell him to build a nation, it’s fun as gently caress lol

Of the four incidents you linked, only the Haditha massacre is comparable to what we're talking about. The rest were huge fuckups of miscommunication where air support was dropping bombs on what they thought were legitimate targets during/immediately after a TIC, versus a SWAT team shooting an unarmed dude who answered the door.

Of all the ways to gently caress up your third star, this one really ranks up there.

Army general’s promotion pulled after calling congressional staffer “sweetheart"

quote:

According to the IG report, Gonsalves' pending nomination for a third star prompted an angry reaction from a staffer of Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I.

The Army IG report redacted the names of the female congressional staffer and about 10 other people who were present during the October 2016 meeting at Fort Carson, Colorado. The report included testimony from members of Gonsalves’ staff who took part in the session.

The complaint cited accusations that Gonsalves took issue with the female congressional staffer’s youth, and that the general said she should take detailed notes on why the military needed funding “since she was a Democrat and did not believe in funding the military,” the IG report stated.

Multiple members of the congressional delegation described Gonsalves’ remarks during the meeting as “sarcastic and unprofessional,” the report states. Another male staffer described the remarks as “sexist, inappropriate and unprofessional,” according to the report.

At one point during the meeting, the female staffer passed a note to a colleague that read: “Did this guy really just call me sweetheart?,” the report states.
---
“Although MG Gonsalves testified that he did not refer to (the female staffer) as ‘sweetheart' during the meeting, the evidence did not support his recollection,” the IG report states.

Isn't anthrax associated with ill-kept livestock and living conditions anyways? I wouldn't be surprised if other crypto-pathologies started coming to light in a legitimate review of a NKorean population sample.
