U.S. SOLDIERS URGED NOT TO SHOOT TALIBAN AT NIGHT SO LOCALS CAN SLEEP
Reports indicate U.S. soldiers and British Royal Marines have been urged to show "courageous constraint" by not shooting Taliban members spotted planting IEDs.
The reason? Shooting them might disturb the locals.
How stupid? How do you sleep in peace knowing your neighbor is building a bomb which could accidentally detonate before its set up in the road. You know the same road you husband travels down to go to work. Not being allowed to shoot guns at night ied builders at night is a joke. Guess troops have 2 choices. Get some sling shots for night shooting or pack up, come home and watch them setup ied's to kill themselves and not our brothers and sisters
What country or countries is this happening in? The article fails to mention that detail.

The locals harbor them, let `em lose sleep!
