    That applies to the Third Convention. The Fourth deals with treatment of civillians in a war zone. The US as a signatory is bound by them even if the insurgents haven't agreed to them.

    This was discussed a lot with the Abu Graib situation where Rumsfeld and pretty much everyone in the chain of command said that the Geneva Conventions apply to Iraq.

    We can certainly hope that JVG gets canned and the Rox hire a coach who knows how to inspire his players.

    Uh OH! We better be careful here before this thread gets moved to that Black Hole known as GARM!

    That's not so far off from what I was saying. I merely added the reason why people would join the bandwagon. That is because they were bullied their. While they may be cowards, I believed the bigger cowards were those doing the bullying.

    No. Memorial Drive Elementary School through 1965. My favorite teacher, Mr. Andrews, was killed in Viet Nam before I got out of Junior High.
