This open statement that we're no longer concerned with adhering to Geneva Convention standards should have made these military leaders sick.
The contradiction that we're going to simultaneously hold all personnel to higher standards of grooming, fitness, etc while removing the obligation to adhere to any semblance of legal authority makes it crystal clear that cruelty is the point of all of this.
Don't worry, since many of the Geneva Conventions were in response to Canadian Military actions at war, if the orange turd sends troops for his 51st state bullshit, we'll come up with a whole new list of things for Geneva to add to the convention and his cronies can get some first hand experience on why those rules exist.
We're nice neighbours and allies, but don't become our enemy.
I think about half of the US wouldn't mind if you got a little pre-emptive with that
Well, if they did, they wouldn't talk about it. I think they'll just say Soory afterward.
Ive already got some war crimes planned just in case. Keep those dog tags on, boys. Theyre gonna need it to identify your remains.
Step 1. Inform the 22me that they no longer have regulations except for Geneva.
Step 2. Look away and prepare the medical support for the enemy wounded.
I mean that pretty much sums up MAGA and Trump's administration. "We're going to hold the groups of people we don't like to an impossible standard while the people we do like are immune to any consequences." Cause it's pretty obvious that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump have no respect for soldiers other than their usefulness as pawns.
Geneva convention rules protect our troops just as much as they protect our enemy's troops. Openly suggesting that we disregard those rules actively puts our troops in danger.
I know they haven't actually said we are disregarding the rules, as of yet, but they certainly are hinting that's what they want. Other countries will take note, and issue orders accordingly.
