The subject of this thread is the rules of engagement of the US army.
people can think at the upper level of the scale : the engagement of the war.
This war is totally against the rules about war. It is in contradiction and violation with the international rules, edicted by the UN and the States, where we find the USA.
USA are guilty of violation of several major treaties and rules about the war law, rules that they made in cooperation with the other States.
Sometimes illegal things are pretty good : the Kosovo war in 1999, lead by OTAN, with massive air strikes by the US Air Force, the French Armée de l'Air, the RAF and other air forces, was illegal. But it was good, and the situation is now better than before. And it was to stop a genocide.
The Iraqi war was not made to stop a genocide. The reasons were not so "nice", fair than in 1999.
With a jurist point of view, these 2 crisis are illegal. But one was accepted by the international community because it was right. The other is not.
Here is the main problem.
