IIRC, JHP round are prohibited by the Geneva Convention.

Is it any wonder why we don’t win wars anymore?

Actually it is the Hague Convention which bans expanding ammunition. The Geneva Convention only has to do with the treatment of prisoners.

It was the Hague Convention of 1899 and the United States did not sign so in reality we are not covered by the Convention. For some reason we seen to follow most of it, sometimes to our detriment.

One of these days, we need to withdraw from that. Things like the Geneva convention only bind the West, not our enemies.
