Eh, those weren't for military use anyway. The idea is that they can be used as an anti-kidnapping tool, disguised as a portable radio (or a medkit, which I haven't seen before) it looks like you are unarmed even upon a cursory search. Wait for an opening, unfold, blast away, and run like hell from wherever you are.

Is there any truth to a claim that they aren't allowed to access .net URLs on a base?

If it's at small unit level it could honestly be "some idiot who doesn't understand comms made a rule"

Still a violation of the Geneva Convention. It would be even if it were a red cross on an actual medkit and not a weapon.

It was specifically .net domains, which as far as I know have no functional difference to any other URL. And we've done testing for the Air Force just fine (minus their awful infrastructure causing constant Internet outages).

Read the link.

quote:

In order to ensure universal respect for the emblems, the Geneva Conventions obliged their signatories to forbid any other use of the names and emblems in wartime and peacetime.

Nevertheless, the illegal usage of the emblem is widespread and it is often used as a general symbol to indicate first aid, medical supplies and civilian medical services especially in walk-in clinics

e: ok, technically, the civilian isn't violating the Geneva Convention. They're violating a law that the country they are a citizen of must have enacted in order for that country to not be in violation of the Geneva Convention.

Yep, it would be the citizen's country that would in violation of the Convention.

Oh yeah, they’ve got more beloved fish to fry at the moment and they knew they were taking on all that came with Marvel Entertainment. Still, a single Punisher Mickey doing something especially repugnant would probably be enough, and the Mouse already has the black and white color scheme so it probably isn’t that far of a leap.

I was reading a journal article about the dumbass soldier that tried to eat C4 to get high, and I have a followup question that google has failed me on, but maybe one of you know. Definitely idiot-adjacent.

The article mentioned that the first non-wartime case of RDX poisoning was in a 3 year old. How in the hell did a 3 year old eat RDX? I haven't been able to find anything on how, exactly, that baffling set of circumstances actually happened, only the aftermath of "kid had a big ol' seizure".
