Hello JamesM !

As your first or second post herein, that’s an unfair and even naive assessment of Colonel Wallace’s paper. It’s a quick read and one of thousands of lessons learned.

The Geneva Convention is significant but at the same time very broad and often in my occupation, confusing as hell. I’ve attended more GC classes and seminars that I ever cared to. It took six professors 3 days to explain why and how we do our daily EOD-related tasks, and not one of the 45 attendees walked away with more than a miniscule of understanding. Rules and regulations are part of a Soldier’s everyday life, but serve no one if we don’t fully understand. COL Wallace’s paper is from a Soldier to Soldiers, and sufficiently references the GC in his notes.

I might have a better appreciation for where you going with this if you took a few minutes to complete your ‘additional information’ (versus just N/A), or at the very least, posted here and took a gander here.
