These restrictions are merely Geneva conventions. The same that stop you shooting up hospitals and ambulances. Along with prisoner of war protections.
I figured you would cite Geneva Convention. GC is BULLSHIT. Why? Because it is the lamest attempt to paint a mask of civility upon the face of the most viciously barbaric beast in the world: war. What those in power were really trying to do was hedge their bets in every way. The third and fourth conventions were adopted in the wake of the the two great mechanized wars and I suspect the elite shit their pants, especially in the wake of WWI because nobody knew what to expect. Had the wars become "too horrific" there may have resulted push-back by the mundanes. In those days there was still enough sense of moral rectitude in people where I an certain that those in power felt it prudent to at least assume the appearance of "caring" for combatants, which of course was the furthest thing from the truth.
The third and fourth GCs are pure window dressing and IMO should be disregarded formally as well as otherwise. Why? Because if we are going to engage in this insanity, I fully support that it be as witheringly brutal and horrifying as possible. I fully encourage the bombing of cities en masse and the endless slaughter of every innocent. Why? Because when war shows it it true face people will lose their appetites for it. Let is be gory and brutal and ugly that people are set to shrieking in fathomless anguish. Let them see what war REALLY means, and afford them not the sanitized version with it pretensions of base civility because all that succeeds in doing is to render it tolerable - the one thing it should NEVER be.
Give people bellies full of real horror and let us see how long they tolerate their illustrious leaders' prosecution of such mindless butchery.
Keeping some sort of rules of war tries to stop it becoming completely out of control.
Completely out of control is EXACTLY what the world needs so people get a fucking clue about what it is they are really tolerating and in many cases begging for.
If you think limitations on what counts as just war are superfluous then you are working from a really worrisome baseline.
Worry all you like. So long as war remains tolerable through nominal sanitizing it will remain tolerated. FAIL. Why do you think Americans have put up with this shit for 11 years? We've MURDERED how many hundreds of thousands of people? Why have bee put up with it? Because it's like a video game and the coverage is tightly controlled and the average American moron thinks it is all OK because we're killing sand-******s. You and others really do need to stop the world and silence the noise in your heads and take a look at what it is we are REALLY doing, sans all labels. A dead or maimed child is a dead or maimed child regardless where they live or how they look. We have been sold a bill of goods as rotten as the days are long at the poles.
Even in World War 2 both sides held off on deploying chemical weapons despite both possessing them.
And had they used them, perhaps the horror of the common man would have prompted him to stand up and say "no more" rather than just going back to their stupid lives, content to believe the lies and bullshit about how just it all was. Jesus... I can barely believe how it is that people cannot see the ways in which they have been played like cheap fiddles.
Your position ends up very quickly endorsing rape as a useful mechanism of war.
If you're going to war, then war. Don't pussy-foot around. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. If you're going to endeavor to kill an enemy, then by god go out and fucking kill them and stop screwing around. This was one thing I could respect about the Japanese. At least they made war honest in its face to the world rather than trying to make it look as it were something noble. War should never be pretty. Let it's specter be such that any attempt to embroil the people in it results in the politicians being publicly executed in brutal fashion and broadcast to the four corners. War is MURDER and should be treated as such but so many people are so hopelessly stupid that the only thing that will bring them to sense is for the experience of war to be stripped of everything that such imbeciles think is attractive and virtuous.
Any-ways, in the event of having to fight your government do you really feel the need to use weapons that are banned because they have a strong tendency to kill innocent non-combatants, even years after you have successfully overthrown the government? Where does this urge come from?
Are you mad? I've not stated such a thing. Buy a clue and try some honesty. Fucking hell.
You are gone off the rails here. You made a statement about "hollow points" and that the military cannot have them. I challenged you on it and you have failed to address my challenge. Instead, you went off on tangents. Try focusing.
