NEOs turn into real fighting for evacuation forces

Non-combatant evacuation ops (NEOs) have been conducted by Western military contingents being sent into wartorn cities to rescue their citizens and evacuate them to safety either back home or in some other country. The intervening forces (including but not limited to such instances as the US Marines in Saigon and Phnom Penh 1975 during Op FREQUENT WIND/EAGLE PULL, in Monrovia 1990 and 1996, and the Belgian, French and Italian airborne forces in Kigali 1994) are authorised to use force only in self-defence, and do encounter only rare occasions when needing to do so. However, WI any of these NEOs actually did turn into real fighting for the intervention forces involved ?

This kind of operation have been executed since the europeans started colonizing only modified over the years so as not the kill all the foreigners!

As long as the NEO stick to their objective get the civilians out and then get out themselves not getting into politics like the French in Cotê d'Ivoire they can kill as many rapists and murderes they like as long as these are members of the guerrialla, mob or armed forces adversarys.

We all watched the downing of the C-5 carrying the children out of Saigon and read the stories of the Foreign Legionaires and Belgian para's in Kigali and nobody raised an eyebrow!

But stick to it, get the job done and get out!
