I've heard people make losing arguments before, but this guy really takes the cake:

Of course, the same guy said "Ethics? MORALS? IN WAR? AHHHHHHHH THATS FUNNY"

These people are truly repulsive.

1. I think they signed it but did not ratify it

The provisions of 4th Geneva are in direct opposition to US policy, however the US feels very strongly that all other countries with the exception of Israel should be bound by it.

2. The US signed and ratified all 4 Conventions
The only thing not signed was the 1977 amendments.

3. And yet, they're so quick to yell War Crimes!
Or what was their excuse for seizing Saddam, exactly?
