Restrictive "Rules of Engagement" and the Western tribalism.

[TheCurmudgeon]

Slap,

Thanks. I have ordered the book "On Combat" advertised on the home page. I will definately spend some time there.

Grossman talks a lot about the phsychological preperation needed to kill, but he does not talk to much about what comes after. In the end, the Soldier has to justify in his or her own mind if what he or she did was morally right. I am curious if having a clearly identifiable enemy makes that justification easier or not.
