In all fairness the military refused to arm military evac helicopters. But our Republican friend in Congress seems to wonder why. They just can't figure out why rules are being followed. I guess they just don't seem to think they apply to them.

Rules are kinda hard to follow when the enemy can't even read the rule book. What part of the medical evacuation helicopters being armed for defensive purposes is hard to understand when they're taking fire and rockets just as steadily as a gunship or troop transport chopper? The Geneva convention DOES allow for medics to be armed in a strictly defensive role, as I understand it. The fact the Medic corps is the refuge of the C.O. type objectors doesn't mean they CANNOT defend themselves. Many have chosen not to.

Oh..and I'm curious here...but what part of the Geneva Conventions covers the cutting off of prisoner's heads with small, dull knives...while they're fully awake and aware of what is happening to them? I missed the part where that was allowed. Hmm....

Oh well, but it's just the mean, nasty Americans who flaunt the conventions and ignore international law right? Of course.... Everyone else follows it to the letter, so only America should be publicly flogged for such disregard.

Our enemy doesn't have uniformed combatants neither do they adhere to any rules,they are Muslim supremacists therefore they can be treated as spies which means we can interrogate them and protect our noncombatant forces from them as necessary.For the most part we always follow the Geneva Conventions,which get's us killed ALOT,so don't wave a white hat in the US military's face when they are the last ones wearing one.
