IIRC, didn't someone once post a link containing (or transcribe) some of
the
ROE restrictions that UN soldiers had to labor under in Bosnia a few
years
ago? I vaguely remember it, and was somewhat taken aback by what they
were
not allowed to do.

As the *many* years of being on this list have shown. :-D  That John
hasn't
already taken the gauntlet and run with it is because he:
1) decided it's not worth it (rare, but happens now and then),
2) is too busy with his Real Job of disarming explosives in the Middle
East
and hasn't had time to relax on the list yet (then again there is that
whole
time zone difference; he might actually be sleeping!), or
3) had started but hasn't yet finished crafting his trademark reply.
