I agree with almost all of the sentiments you've expressed here, except perhaps the idea that this is all about the Law of War manual. I think that it's likely a component, but I don't pin everything on it like some do.
To me, it's unclear how exactly all that is connected, if at all, (even though I've reviewed some of it and exposed myself to Majic Eyes only, interpretations, etc.)
Also, LoW manual was NOT written for lay persons. It's designed and written specifically for Department of Defense personnel.
This manual is a Department of Defense (DoD)-wide resource for DoD personnel – including commanders, legal practitioners, and other military and civilian personnel – on the law of war.
It's a highly technical document, and I think it would be a big ask to have anyone with just a routine public education or even a specialist education in other fields, to grasp it. So perhaps don't be so harsh on yourself.
Moreover, its about WAR and the legal or lawful aspects of conducting war between two or more belligerent powers. If you are reading it as it its going to explain everything about the PLAN or what the white hats are doing, I don't think you are going to find those answers.
There will be aspects of the current operations (plan) to which the LoW will be relevant, but a lot of other aspects that are not, as well.
Anyway, besides this, I think all your other points are spot on and well said. God bless you for your patriotic heart, fren.
Thanks, I agree with you about the Law of War Manual.
I should have just said that the White Hats of following a legal plan that will hold up in a court of law. A REAL court of law of course.
If that legal plan is the Law of War manual than that is what it is. If the Law of War manual is just a component than like you said they have another legal avenue that they are following.
Thanks for the reply and also for reminding me that the Law of War manual is not something you can just pick up and understand without a solid understanding the technical underpinnings.
I think that manual is harder to decipher than the mumble jumble we are required to sign off on every time we load new software on our computers.
