Serious Frolicking posted:i dunno when we would ever even use paratroopers these days. since the standard is now to bomb everything indiscriminately before sending the infantry in, sending in an advance unit of paratroopers would just get them blown the gently caress up. I would think paratroopers are still viable in hard to reach locations that mechanized infantry would have difficulty getting to. A behind enemy lines thing comes to mind. You could still bomb the gently caress out of it first. Infiltration into the population of a target country? Drop non uniformed personnel and let them wreak havoc from within for a couple months.

Serious Frolicking posted:that's one of the few parts of the geneva convention we actually follow, though. no uniform = not covered. bomb civilians, bomb hospitals, whatever. but the uniform thing could turn around to bite us in the rear end. Not sure if we intend to follow it in the future. We practiced this: operation jade stone or some poo poo. It resulted in Texas standing up its national guard to "ensure the rights and liberties of Texas' citizens." On the Geneva convention, I don't think we actually ever signed that document any way. We've just historically followed its rules.

That jade stone thing happened fairly recently. It's googlable. I'm no Geneva convention expert. But of the rules I know of, I saw them followed when I was in the military.

hth posted:i was a civilian when jade helm was going on and i barely got gangbanged, i dont see the big deal I believe I can speak for the greater population when I say that we as a people would generally like to exercise our right not to get gang banged repeatedly by jade serpents or whatever. Goons may feel differently of course.
