Do you even know what they are?
Geneva Conventions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And........fwiw...........since I came on active duty in 1982, until I retired in 2002, I had ANNUAL briefings (usually 2-3 days) on both the Code of Conduct for the military (like I said, locally made by the U.S.) as well as briefings on the Geneva Conventions, which the Code of Conduct follows.
Might wanna read up on some of this stuff and why the rules are in place before spewing bullshit.
I have studied more law than you will ever see in your lifetime.
If you are such a big bad ass, then why don't you reinlist. You claim active duty. You do not claim any combat experience. Let me guess. You don't have any! How easy was that, now!![]()
Actually, I can't reenlist because I have an RE-2 code on my DD214, which means that I'M ******* RETIRED YOU DUMB *****.
As far as war service? Not that I have to tell you but I was in Beruit in 1983, 1984 and 1985........you remember what it was like then?
Modern era
The Green Line that separated west and east Beirut, 1982
After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire following World War I, Beirut, along with the rest of Lebanon, was placed under the French Mandate. After Lebanon achieved independence in 1943, Beirut became its capital city. The city remained a regional intellectual capital, becoming a major tourist destination and a banking haven, especially for the Persian Gulf Oil Boom. This era of relative prosperity ended in 1975 when the Lebanese Civil War broke out throughout the country.[37][38] During most of the war, Beirut was divided between a Muslim west part and the Christian east.[39] The downtown area, previously the home of much of the city's commercial and cultural activities, became a no man's land known as the "Green Line." Many inhabitants fled to other countries. About 60,000 people died in the first two years of the war (1975–1976), and much of the city was devastated. One particularly destructive period was the 1978 Syrian siege against Achrafiyeh, the main Christian district of Beirut. Syrian troops relentlessly bombed the eastern quarter of the city; however, Christian militias managed to counter and defeat multiple attempts by Syria's elite forces to capture the strategic area in a three-month campaign later known as the "100 days war". Another destructive chapter was the 1982 Israeli invasion, during which most of West Beirut was under siege by Israeli troops. In 1983, French and US barracks were bombed, killing 241 American servicemen, 58 French servicemen, 6 civilians and the 2 suicide bombers.[40][41][42]

I was also part of Desert Storm, pts 1 and 2, as well as was floating in a combat zone around Kosovo in the late 90's, and yes, I've been under artillery fire.
Oh.........and by the way.........I've also been awarded 3 Navy Achievement Medals, all of them signed by Admirals.
Go **** yourself Sunshine.
Not to get between the love affair here but I just wanted to thank you for your service.
