Editorial #3

This editorial is about how now in Afghanistan troops are being told to hold their fire when in populated parts of cities and towns. This has been put into place to stop civilians from being killed by defleted bullets. Troops cannot fire on suspected Taliban fighters unless they are visible, armed and posing a threat. Buildings suspected of containing Taliban cannot be targeted unless it is known that there are no civilians in the building. They dont want anymore civilians deaths from this war.

I think this is a little dumb, how are the troops supposed to fight back when they are being shot at. Just becasue they cant see the Taliban they need to be able to fire back.
