Chute Shooters - you're time of judgement has finally come

That's right, the Red Cross is after you!

War has laws; why can't war games reflect them?

It's a simple question that the International Committee of the Red Cross has been weighing for nearly two years.

Under the Geneva Conventions, the Red Cross is mandated to protect the victims of international and internal armed conflict.

During the 31st International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in Geneva in 2011, a committee discussed whether the Geneva and Hague conventions should be applied to the fictional recreation of war in video games.

hand me in now.

A former squad I was in during my time in FA did it for sport because it was frowned on.  I still pop the odd chute just to help the guy get back in the tower quicker and to keep my aim sharp!

Churchill said it was ok to shoot red cross planes if they had Germans in them so I'll stand by that!

you are wrong.  everybody in a chute has a .45 fully loaded in his hand and ready to shoot.  in combat that is considered a legal target.  if the guy in the chute was to drop his gun then it would be illegal.

Actually the Convention states you cannot engage pilots and crew that are exiting damaged aircraft, but it is legitimate to engage parachutists that are descending to attack you.

This is an interesting event, if true.
