But now we insist on multiple categories of 'combatants' in order to negate the rules of the Geneva Convention, our Constitution and simple decency.
Last night after I posed questions about NDAA to my congressman I was lectured on why my interpretation of the clear language and loopholes included in NDAA is wrong. Afterwards a couple of folks approached me to state they have similar opinions to mine but they were not comfortable speaking up.
