So, I detest it when you hide behind ignorance with stupidity. We can educate the ignorance but we can not cure stupidity. Which is it? ------------------- According to Article 4 of the
Third Geneva Convention of 1949, irregular forces are entitled to prisoner of war status provided that they are commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates,
have a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance, carry arms openly, and conduct their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war. If they do not do meet all of these, they may be considered
francs-tireurs (in the original sense of "illegal combatant") and punished as criminals in a military jurisdiction, which may include summary execution. -------------------- It is why we have gitmo and we could have executed them already on the battlefield. But, we keep them to torture out more information. Laugh all you want out of fear but it ain't funny.
