They have a point. After all, who is France to tell them—or, for that matter, anyone—what to do?

There had been an incident in which civilians were killed when soldiers ordered a strike on a compound from which they were receiving fire. In the brief you ordered your commanders to "stop dropping compounds." Can you tell me more about this? What we have done is written a tactical directive.
