I heard last night that our military are ordered to retreat if fired upon. Is this true?
There was an order similar to that given about 3 years ago after Aussie SF shot up a village and killed a bunch of civilians. The specifics were to withdraw and reevaluate if there was a chance of creating civilian casualties.

why are we there?
Beats me.
I've been for bringing the troops home ever since our SF Captain Amerine and his A Team rode horses into battle and beat the shxt out of the Taliban in tanks in the first 90 days.
