I believe that also covers civilians as well...we can't torture them either. Wasn't this guy a police officer? Or do you just like to make excuses for illegal behavior. You know damn well what he did was illegal. That shit is drilled into our heads from basic training on. As Judah said...he should have been rotting in jail, not sitting in Congress. West is a dishonorable piece of shit.

Geneva doesn't apply. Dude was not in a uniform, with a flag, or carrying a Geneva convention ID card. All of which are required for the convention to pertan.

Look man, you've never had to wonder if you were gonna get raped and have your head cut off, it was a regular topic of conversation for us. Something we had to deal with and think about how we'd rather eat our last bullet than be caught by the enemy. In the end though, you're right we need to be involved in far less conflicts, none without an actual declaration of war as far as I'm concerned.
