The NASA directive is just stupid.
It is a disgrace that BHO's policies on the Afgan War are also building 'Muslim self-esteem".
With the current Rules of Engagement, I'm betting there are a lot of "Muslim Insurgents" feeling pretty good about being able to shoot down American GIs when they are not allowed to return fire.
Giving out medals for not engaging the enemy even when it leads to death of our troops is disgusting. If a line officer gave orders to the troops to not fire on the enemy when they were taking casualties, I doubt he would return from that engagement alive, from enemy fire or otherwise. And if he did make it back, he should be face court martial and charges of treason.
