Historically geneva convention just serves as the apparatus the victor uses to persecute the loser and legitimize the victor. That's why the only side that worries about being compliant with the laws of war is the side that knows it's going to lose. How many allied generals would've been tried as war criminals if the axis won? You think if Saddam would've won the gulf war he wouldn't have Schwarzkopf arrested for war crimes? Laws governing the conduct of war are about as useful as laws governing the conduct of crime. Whenever I see the phrase "war crimes", I think "crime crimes". Wars happen because one or both parties are ignoring the law, so lets make laws telling us the appropriate way to ignore law.

Basically what I'm saying is bring it on red cross if you think you can stop me.

I might just go flying around with the intent on shooting chutes, film it and then send it to the IRC.  To bad we no longer have the church to bomb in the towns.

     There still is a Church isn't there?  :headscratch: Looks like a gothic Cathedral.

I think ya'll are misunderstanding what the redcross is saying. I think what they are saying is pointless but its at least not as stupid as saying that video game players should be penalized for war crimes.  They are saying that combat oriented video games are sanitized violence and they think that given how popular they are maybe if the violence wasn't so sanitized it would help people understand war crimes in context, as opposed to something the Narzis did. 
The problem with their idea, as far as i'm concerned, is that the whole point of video game combat is that it IS sanitized.  Who would want to play a video game that made you feel bad about playing? Imagine the law suits over video game caused ptsd.
