We were taught in the military that if we are armed, and run into local unarmed resistance, try to deescalate the situation.

I know because I've discussed and seen it innumerable times, but it always gives me a feeling of absurdity being reminded that the RoE for modern militaries in most combat zones is stricter than it is for US police.
