Of course the main stream media probably won't cover this. They're too busy worrying about how politically incorrect Trump is.
Trump recently claimed that the Geneva conventions, which are a series of treaties on the treatment of civilians, prisoners of war (POWs) and soldiers who are otherwise rendered hors de combat, or incapable of fighting, are the reason why soldier are reluctant to fight. Wow this guy is flat out just saying we should not obey international law at this point. I'd love to hear trump supporter defend this lol.

1 AntwortenI don't know where this Geneva convention is, but if it's anything like ComiCon then I want nothing to do with it. I think that's what Trump is trying to say. So go Trump 2016! [spoiler]this is literally trump supporters everywhere. [/spoiler]

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von greedo_10: 4/3/2016 7:09:31 PMHow are people still trying to defend him? This just shows how easily people can be indoctrinated by idiots. Let's use an equivalent of what he is saying " If any of your friends or family or colleagues were members of the KKK you should be killed"

41 AntwortenHe is completely correct, war is war why the -blam!- would you use rules war needs to be horrible and evil and brutal. Why the hell would you restrict your troops!
-
I see his point but he's wrong, just because some scumbag does something doesn't mean the rest of humanity has to drop down to to their level. The guy needs to get some self respect.

1 AntwortenUhhhhh wtf trump

1 AntwortenI dislike and distrust all politicians, and I believe that the presidency is an outdated and unnecessary position. That being said, he has a bit of a point. As it stands, U.S. troops are disallowed to take preventative action. That means they can't do anything unless people are actively trying to kill them. Even when those conditions are met, there are still civilian assholes trying to charge them with war crimes. The problem comes when your group is the only one obeying the rules set forward at those conventions. If I asked you to box someone with your hands tied behind your back while they have their's free, would you do it?

3 AntwortenSo 90 seconds of a 7 minute video is Trump giving an opinion, and the rest is some wormy child ranting about his opinion. This is a shit post. If a man is coming at me intent on killing me and I manage to shoot him in the face before he can do so, am I then a monster? Hell no. If someone wants to kill me and everyone I know just because I live in a certain country, then I have a duty to my family to do everything possible to make sure he is unsuccessful.

59 AntwortenThere's a difference between fighting dirty and fighting stupid, we don't kill innocents because it's bad pr and only serves to aggravate the enemy, we don't use excessive torture because after a while people start spewing bs to make the pain stop, and we don't violate these rules because if we do then our enemies sure as hell will as well, or does trump think we came up with these for no reason at all?

2 AntwortenTrump is a businessman not a leader, how tf is he going to do anything, if anything he should hire someone better for the job bc he has money.(not that that's a good solution) Where are all the good leaders?

Not like we follow them anyway.

3 AntwortenYou know that the U.S is one of the 4 countries that doesn't follow the Geneva conventions right?
-
6 AntwortenHe's right though. The Geneva conventions were drawn up in a time where people didn't count on civilian groups like ISIS becoming a giant problem in the world and there's gray area in them.

1 AntwortenThe only low for him is the bottom of the coffin. It's just that he has a large coffin for some reason. Must've been made from his small loan of a million dollars.

6 AntwortenDamn British fought with rules, we beat their asses back. War with rules is dumb as fack.
-
1 AntwortenBreaking the rules of war played a huge role in America gaining it's independence from Britain (using Guerrilla tactics and not taking turns shooting at eachother). At the very least, it should be looked at and revised to fit better in the era that we live in.

5 AntwortenTrump is a typical offtopic poster who can solve all the world's problems without actually living in the real world.
