DISNEY COMMS
Have you folks ever heard of the Geneva Conventions? That's where the laws of war come from. They are an attempt to make war less terrible. And they benefit our soldiers if they are ever taken capture
https://www.britannica.com/event/Geneva-Conventions
The US Army has a law of war manual, because we have agreed to the Geneva Conventions.
US officers have to learn the rules of a belligerent occupier because we have been in this role several times. We occupied the Phillipines for like 50 years.
Just don't get how it works I guess. I thought the convention rules were for everyone in the Geneva Convention. Not that each country gets to have its own manual which describes how the occupier has to behave? Unless the DOD Law of War Manual updated in 2015 tracks Geneva Convention manual?
The original guide that incorporated the Geneva Conventions was The Department of the Army Field Manual (FM) 27-10, The Law of Land Warfare, was issued in 1956.
"After Vietnam, proxy armed conflicts, and the 1977 Additional Geneva Protocols, FM 27-10 was recognized as outdated and no longer reflective of current law of armed conflict mandates. Something new was needed"
So the DOD updated it and so it now goes beyond just the Geneva Conventions to an expanded American understanding of what is legal in war. The section on weapons went from one page to like 90. There's a section on cyberspace.
They were working on this for decades, it has nothing to do with recent politics. The lead author called for a new manual in 1990. He turned his draft in 2010 and retired.
Thanks for this info this is very helpful. I actually believe there is something to the Devolution thing and am 80/20 on whether some form of that is going on. I just didn't get how the manual "worked" if you were unilaterally telling a foreign entity what they can and can't do.
