I remember the Laws of Armed Conflict classes I had when I was in the military. The instructors were very clear in the point that the United States never signed the Geneva Convention. We simply agree in principle. So, if this is true, we are not bound by it as in Treaty. Any lawyer types out there that can confirm?
Awaiting the answer with you.
It's both yes AND no. The US signed the vast majority of the conventions (the ones controlling this decision included) and not some of the others.
