You have more evidence than I can find; could you please give me a reference? I've been very interested in the topic since reading some testimony from troops entering Baghdad at the beginning of the war. Several of them were remarkably similar although they came from different units; for example, the "Floor it when faced with a jaywalking pedestrian" rule.

Since the Pentagon would not make copies of the ROE available, it was easy for me to believe that they might be interpreted in a way unfavorable to the troops who must employ them.

I am willing to accept that my suspicions are fiction, but would really appreciate some documentation to support my change of mind.
