This article is armchair analysis at its most mediocre. ROEs are often very tough and give those on the ground a lot of latitude.
Journalists typically see a sanitized, homogenized post-event version of the ROE, which does not come from the White House, by the way: it comes from the CJCS.
That's because the military does not want anyone to collect articles listing official ROEs following incidents, so that bad guys can then predict the extent of the latitude which the operators on the ground can use without getting feedback from the higher HQ. It's called OPSEC: defensive operational security, long-term.
What your opponent doesn't know can't hurt you.
