Get used to it. This is the nature of modern warfare, and it's not
going
to
change anytime soon. It began in WWII, continued in Vietnam, and
it's
here
to stay.

Then the articles of the Geneva Convention no longer apply. Thanks
for
pointing that out, Doug!

"Combatants who deliberately violate the rules about maintaining a
clear
separation between combatant and noncombatant groups - and thus
endanger
the
civilian population - are no longer protected by the Geneva
Convention."

So, how do the 'contractors' we have over in Iraq fall into this, are
they
not also 'unlawful' combatants?..

They're Americans. They're above the rules.

Such contempt you have for your own people.



No, dr. I just see things for what they are, instead of seeing the world
through some rose-colored glasses that are scratched and covered with 30
years worth of fingerprints.
