Why are certain weapons banned by the Geneva Convention?
I just found out that using a .50 cal machine gun against people is technically banned by the Geneva Convention, as the .50 is supposed to be used against Vehicles and Materiel only. Why is this? If you are a soldier shooting at another soldier, the objective is to kill them. Wouldn't you use the most potent weapons systems to accomplish this?

1 ReplyBecause apparently being humane in a time where we send trained soldiers, high-tech machines and advanced weaponry to violently attack each other is extremely important, and makes total sense. I mean, we can't be [i]too[/i] cruel when we're slaughtering each other, right?
