Pentagon to omit Geneva ban from new army manual: report - Yahoo! News
Omitting the Geneva provisions may make it harder for the administration to portray such incidents as aberrations, the paper noted, saying it would also undercut contentions that US forces follow the strictest, most broadly accepted standards when fighting wars.
Omitting the Geneva bans also make it hard to stand on higher ground in a conventional war. It is hard to expect your opponent to follow rules you, yourself don't follow. By breaking from the conventions the DoD is putting future solders at risk.
