In the last decade, almost every medal/commendation/promotion I have seen presented has been in operational dress - the only time I've seen presentations in ceremonial or service dress are for the odd ceremony. You may think it is the CoC that doesn't care, but in many cases soldiers don't care...

It's the same office managing both. Never understimate a predilection for the trivial buttons and bows when presented with the option space.

You'd be surprised how much time many soldiers don't spend on parade, and when they do parade, it's in operational dress.

Regiments/Corps will decide if they wish to include Patrols for wear as No 1C Semi-Ceremonial dress. I can't see why a uniform with even less utility than No 2 Mess Dress would be mandatory for members. Times are a changing....

A fair portion of those charged for genocide and crimes against humanity in Rwanda and the Former Yugoslavia were also charged with war crimes/violations of the Geneva Conventions. It is part of the International Law of Armed Conflict. Feel free to split hairs at a war crimes trial, or more...

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?
