That is the "strange thing" about the Geneva Convention. Even though you are not allowed "under the convention" to use "expanding point" ammuntion from small arms against enemy combatants. You can drop a 2000 pound bomb on their heads. Or use land mines.....command detonated or "triggered". And even though weapons systems are "labeled as" anti-personnel, anti-aircraft, anti-armor, etc......you use what is available and at hand.

Then there is always the question of law in this regard about another issue. If in fact these "targets" were terrorist.....as opposed to "enemy combatants"....you can use any "d**n bullet you want! May not make a lot of sense.....but since when has war ever "made sense". War happens to be necessary because of the "nature of humankind"....but no one ever said, "it made sense".

Truly strange when you think of it!

What does make sense is this. If these people (targets) where in the process of commiting acts that would endanger and/or kill American servicemembers....I wouldn't care if they dropped a "Daisey Cutter" on their heads!
