Think about it folks, we live in a country where we preach and supposedly fight wars according to the rules of the Geneva Convention. Many believe we live by the highest standards and the principle that we ONLY kill our enemy humanely. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
i take it that you think we do not follow these rules. let me put it this way. i work in a job wher we deal with the big weapons (simply put i build and configure bombs, missiles, rockets, etc that are utilized by the AV8B Harrier aircraft) and i can tell you first hand that we follow these rules. we are not allowed to use nor do we use weapons that are not allowed by the geneva convention. and before you say that is not the way we do it when we are at war, i will tell you that it is the way we do it, since i just returned from my second tour in afghanistan in november. i cannot say the same for the opposition, since i have seen some of the things that they do and it is very much less than humane. so if you still think that we do not follow the geneva convention then i suggest you step into the local recruiters office, sign the dotted line and go and see for yourself.
