The Geneva Accords are great on paper.....given a choice of scissors, paper, or rocks....I'll take the rocks thank you!

Load the birds up with guns...let them defend themselves...and get to the wounded as quick as you can.

Jason Cunningham, AF Para Rescue, bled out on Robert's Ridge because some General in Bahrain deemed it too dangerous to send in a Medevac helicopter despite being told by troops on the ground from two separate chains of command that it was safe enough.

Political Correctness and Force Protection protocols should not get in the way of taking care of the Troops wounded in battle.

In this day and time....does any of our enemies live up to the standards of the Geneva Accords? Sort of makes the argument that we should a bit moot don't it?
