I thought that landmines caused the UN/geneva to have a hissy fit...
A clusterbomb landmine spreader though... that would probably have the swiss screaming blue murder ._.

-
the US was not a signitory on the bans on landmines, shotguns, clusterbombs or napalm....
-
Ah right, that makes sense and yet it's also not that surprising.
-
yeah, it does. makes no strategic or tactical sense to limit yourself in such a manner during a conflict because someone is protesting the war...
-
Yeah, I'd say they are fine as long as you remember where you put them and clean up/blow em up afterwards. It's not very nice to have children blown to shit 20 years after the war has finished because someone left a minefield right outside a village.
-
What the UN thinks < What the US wants.
-
Not that I know of. Besides, having "rules" in warfare is pretty ridiculous.
-
It's called chivalry. Something still abided by
-
Yeah, having an entire company of men be burnt alive by napalm bombs is really chivalrous.
-
No it isn't, that's against the rules of warfare
-
Which totally explains why NATO and the Warsaw Pact had thousands of them in inventory during the Cold War.

The Cold War was a fu[i]c[/i]ked up time

'War is cruel, the crueller it is the faster it is over' Can't remember who originally said that but I've seen it paraphrased a few times. Chemical and Biological warfare restrictions are fair enough, but banning stuff like 'bullets designed to maim' or Flechette rounds is moronic. There was a BBC thing a while back, when some middle eastern country started bombing another one (I can't really remember who) and they were harping on about how inhumane flechette rockets were. No shit. As opposed to ones that shoot White Phosphorous? or just plain old shockwave killers? *sigh*
-
Most NATO/US artillery systems can fire shells that disperse mines as well... XD!
-
Yeah... I didn't think anyone really paid much heed to it all.
