So it's OK by the Geneva convention to drop cluster bombs on civilian school yards, hospitals and churches on Easter Sunday morning in Belgrade but not OK to water board someone plotting to terrorize American's by whatever sinister plan they're involved with, to gain information in order to prevent harm coming to our citizens??
When did I say that? What do you know of why we dropped munitions in those places. Enemy use of civilian property is well documented and the Geneva Convention actually delineates rules for those very specific occasions. Regardless, that has nothing to do with the OP's comments, to which I was responding.
On top of that we have our soldiers in harms way walking around without a chambered round so as to protect civilians???
We are never going to get away from listening to idiotic civilians in control of things like ROE. It's a fact of life in a military that answers to a politician, but it's a very good system.
I would say there is some treason and sedition going on.
of course there is, but it isn't remotely limited to liberals nor is this link indicative of said treason.
If the above isn't enough, take the case of Honduras, just because they refused to allow a communist takeover of their country and follow their constitution, our state department is putting sanctions on them.
Yep, I would say that passes the treason and sedition test when you look at their whold body of work.
Furthermore, neither islamic or communist (who are often bed fellow politically) forces are going to give on whit about the Geneva convention, never have, never will.
I thought I specifically mentioned that we are the heart and soul of the convention. We acknowledge that generally and our senior commanders spend many hours at CGSC and the War College and such discussing the slippery slope that such a situation fosters. Regardless, we shouldn't set our standards based upon what the bad guys might do.
