According to the UN, Depleted Uranium munitions are illegal. DU is a toxic, radioactive metal that has a half life of 4billion years. It is extremely dangerous to biological processes. DU is used as a weapon against hard targets. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-VkpR-wka8&feature=related Why do we use DU in our weaponry in Empires? We need to ban DUMG and DUHMG. Brenodi Empire and Northern Factory needs to form a treaty to ban the use of DU as weaponry on its vehicles. We are poisoning the infantry and poisoning the water/food. All future Brenodi and Norther Faction children will be born with deformations. Stop DU use!
if engies get adv.healing upg and revive they should also get a red cross so they get "protected" by the geneva conventions ...
Isn't all weapons dangerous to biological things? I think it's silly to have rules for wars, a war is a social failure from the beginning, to have rules on how you may kill each other is just.. absurd.
I believe that medics can't carry weapons then. I suppose we could make engineer a truly civilian class then.
Only the U.S. pollute the world for thousands of years with this kind of dirty ammunition, Germany should give them the good example :D
Actually a lot of the geneva convention rules are on how to avoid killing each other. For example you're only allowed to use solid steel bullets in the military. These are actually less lethal than hollowpoint or other fragmentation rounds, because they tend to punch through what you shoot them at and leave a comparatively clean wound. Same goes for things like 'don't shoot medics' and stuff like that, the general theme is 'once a guy has been shot, he is out of action, you don't need to actually kill him'. The idea is basically to make it appealing for countries to fight less horrible wars, with the rules being enforced by all the other countries. Of course it doesn't really work very well, but it's a nice thought.
No, I just think it's absurd that we have rules on how we may or may not kill each other. We shouldn't have do this, do that in war, there should just be one big rule: "Don't do it". I could ramble on and get into both political and philosophic ways on how life is to short to end it in a war about nothing that matters to you, but right now, I'm just too bloody tired.
