Chutes descending over enemy territory should be considered potential spies / saboteurs!

All spies should be shot!  :ahand

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.

a pilot bailing out of an aircraft with a gun in his hand aiming and possible shooting at anything that gets near is a legitimate target.  sorry vietnam era rules do not apply here.

If two planes cannot be in the same space and time in AH, where does the bullet factor come in....
Pretty deep, right?

At least they aren't proposing a global tax on all manufacturers of violent games to offset the cost of on going research to help us play violent video games nicer, yet. 

Don't get worried until they figure out an angle for politicians and bureaucrats to make money by imposing it on us. By then it won't matter how hair brained of an idea it really is. Coverage of this hasn't yet made it up to the level of Reuters or the Daily Mail or the Guardian. At least then WHO will have announced discovering a new global threat to protect us from with a tax. Our mental health because of violent video games.

This will also require that TV and movie actors face the same penalties.

Especially Tom Cruise (hopefully).
