As for the Geneva Conventions...they were originally penned by nations that stood by their word...in a different time..frankly the art of warfare and their system of targets have changed.....the insurgents don't see the need to follow it....neither should my boys..now..if they wanted to act civilized I would advocate following the Accords...but what is good for the goose..is also good for the gander. |
ACause, welcome. You make alot of sense. If only the Koreans, and Japanese, Germans and Viet Cong would have simply humiliated our troops with empty threats. If only those fifty Iraqi soldiers had not been attacked, captured beheaded and shot in the back by Al Qaida Operatives today.
When I think these Iraqis were in basic training to defend their beloved Iraq, it makes my blood boil.
