When “Rules” No Longer Apply – AHA Disdaining wartime rules of engagement, whether during the Cold War or today, are counterproductive to US military operations.

"Wartime rules of engagement are not some 'woke' constraint curbing military effectiveness as Secretary Hegseth would lead us to believe” writes Gregory A. Daddis in #AHAPerspectives, “they are—and long have been—the primary means of regulating the use of force in armed conflict." 🗃️
