Sum it up in one point can I, rules in warfare are useless. They apply to only those with conscience. Those with a conscience are unlikely to commit or stomach those that commit atrocities.

I remember being a teenager learning about the war crimes trials after WW II, I thought they were stupid then, and now I know why. War is the killing of the enemy, by any means necessary. Playing by the rules is a sure way of getting your own people killed. The winner of the war is the one that survives and destroys more of the enemy. Isn't abiding by rules a way of leveling the warring field? Isn't that a trick and code word for "everyone should be a winner?"

We all know who started that, and who spouts it to their dying breath......Commies, and todays Democratic party.

Good post--I blame it on the un-feminine feminists. I think just about every major social problem we have in our society today can be traced back to them.
