I read in the Stars and Stripes, McCrystal was quoted as saying that CAS would only be authorized if CF were in danger of being overrun (paraphrased). Ridiculous. Since when is the best offense a good defense? I predict that this rule, if not changed will result in what could be described as "South Park" tactics, as in, "Look out! He's coming right for us! -BANG-" Anyone remember when raids couldn't be written as a raid in the CONOP?
Let's hope this knee-jerk reaction stays just that and sanity returns before it results in more casualties.
