Because if it is the same media, I won't believe anything they say. What you fail to understand is that nearly everyone in the military takes the law *very* seriously. Now, just as in any large organization, there are a few bad apples. For example, just because someone at the telephone company sells a list of phone numbers to telemarketers does not mean that every single employee of the phone company is a criminal. Same with the military, as 99.9% of the people in uniform are decent, law abiding and doing their jobs in accordance with the law. > > Well, there is the whole thing about lawful combatants being required to > > wear a distinguishable uniform with distinctive insignia. > > ..one of these suffices, both together are preferred, and you deny the > "Let's roll!"-people aboard flight UA93 their lawful KIA status, when > they "took up arms against the invading enemy." > Umm, they were acting in self-defense. Big difference. Of course, your continued ranting only serves to reinforce that you are either just intent on stirring the pot, or that you really don't get it. > > Again, engaing in combat while not in uniform == automatically not > > lawful combatant. > > ..you deny the "Let's roll!"-people aboard flight UA93 their lawful KIA > status, when they "took up arms against the invading enemy." > Ibid. > > Well, in this case, no matter what the US does, they are wrong.

Yup. Military police and lawyers receive extra training on the GCs. Having never been a police or a lawyer, however, I can't say whether they carry the text with them, but I imagine that they do. > > > Take them prisoner and the there is public outcry.

To the people who within 30 years of coming into existence as a group went about conquering lands which had rightfully belonged to the Jews for thousands of years? Oh yeah, they are most deserving. Perhaps they are ones who need to give the rest of the world a "fair deal." Regards, -Roberto [0] http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/orders/ -- Roberto C.
