According to Article 45, no. Once you take part in armed hostilities, you are considered a lawful combatant unless a tribunal strips you of that status.

Article 41. If I am a commander and my force destroys an enemy vessel, floundering enemy occupants of that vessel who are just trying to avoid drowning would seem to me to be hors de combat. Driving around them and shooting them when they are doing so would constitute a breach of the convention...

Not according to Additonal Protocol I of the Geneva Convention.

Impressive speech.

It has four Divisions!

Even though those guys drive their program through an absolute morality?

DEU 3 is service dress. Patrols are a form of ceremonial dress, semi-formal to be exact. Forms of naval whites are a good comparison. It was something you wore when taking your date out on the town....120 years ago. Not a parade dress (that is full dress) or for mess dinners (that's evening...

Are they having a major effect on Israeli operations right now, or are we taking one curated video for more than it actually is?

Peer-on-Peer isn't much of a factor when we are talking about steering a cheap UAS into a vehicle. You can either do it or you can't. ISIS was employing this capability extensively 5 years before Nagarno-Karabakh or Ukraine revealed the "Secrets of Future War." These featured prominently in the...

You sure about that?

ISIS was dropping munitions from cheap UAVs on American bases in 2017.

Sounds like the Service Ontario building I had to go to to get...everything.

Reserves are always a great option to get engaged with service while you are an doing undergraduate program.

If I am far away, I can still pound the enemy with indirect systems to cause attrition. If I am close, but the enemy is suppressed or neutralized, I still have room to manoeuvre. One is related to time and space, while the other is related to force.

Except they are not ends of a sliding scale. Manoeuvre is the use of fires and movement to gain a position of advantage, and attrition is simply the destruction of stuff. Attrition stems from manoeuvre, enables it, and is enabled by it. Attrition can also occur through other battlefield...

The author makes numerous erroneous assumptions and falls on the familiar trope of manoeuvre vs attrition, a false dichotomy. Manoeuvre and attrition are simultaneous and complementary effects on the battlefield. The Ukrainians are not conduct breakthrough and exploit offensive operations, but...

It's actually a Bde(-), all things considered. There are more guns in that BG than in a CMBG. The comment on mass is probably applicable when you consider the host nation's military, and how the eFP contributes to its national defence plan.

I am so proud that my government invited the Jewish president of a key partner country - and likely the greatest wartime head of state since Churchill - and then parade out an SS veteran in front of him for a round of applause as clearly nobody knew who he was. It'll be interesting to see whose...

I don't doubt it - thing is terrible looking!

Unsurprising, but looks pretty good.
