‘missed any important examples?’

“Killing an enemy combatant, then putting a Santa hat on him and writing “NOW I HAVE A MACHINE GUN HO-HO-HO” on his sweater in his blood: Totally awesome but, yes, technically a war crime.”

Nope. I think the Bee has covered everything

Playing Christmas music right after Halloween: WAR CRIME!!

Watching the best Christmas movie, Die Hard, any time of year: definitely not war crime.

'Wonderful Christmastime' by Paul McCartney: WAR CRIME. Straight to gulag.

And they missed "So this is Christmas" with John Lenin and YoYo NoNo?

What is wrong with the Bee today?

That one has to be a "take off and nuke it from orbit" level of war crime. I fully expect the aliens to show up any day and blow us to smithereens for letting that one out into the galaxy.

Appreciate the humor.

But if the US would get off it’s lazy, beer-soaked a$$ and read “The Final Report on the Conventions of Geneva of 1949”, and acquaint itself with the razor-sharp thinking of the authors, it would be concluded that:

A BELLIGERENT HAVING NO INTEREST IN FOLLOWING THE LAW OF ARMED CONFLICT, IS A BRIGAND, AND THEREFORE IS NOT AFFORDED ANY PROTECTION FROM THE CONVENTIONS.

But that would require reading, and thoughtful analysis: and we are not going to have that because D1 football is on, and the World Cup soccer tournament draw is this Friday.

This is about certain people not wanting the US Dept of War meddling in Venezuela. For whatever nefarious reasons

I know the basics of the Geneva Convention. Most do.

I Trust Trump. More people that will admit it trust Trump

This is more useful than watching Dana Perino trying to parse this into a, “if only the Trump admin would bla bla bla.”

Trump and Hegseth are following the law

We need Congress to tell them every move to make? And what not to do? Really?

They would all need to divest of all their non Congress income first

They are NOT more ethical than Trump, nor Hegseth.

MTG to start would have to all away without her $22 million, then she could talk. Maybe.

As it is, this is a good satire.

ABSOLUTELY!

The Geneva Convention only applies to SOLDIERS IN UNIFORM. It does NOT apply to terrorists.

It keeps her in the money and that keeps her from ever singing again.

And all we have to do is sacrifice our sanity one month a year.
