Curious, since some of his associates argue that the round is ineffective and does not work well at all.
IMHO, since we are not fighting Geneva protected opponents (no uniform, no recognized leadership, no compliance by them with the Conventions), then terrorists can legally be engaged by any ammo we desire (as some units have had long had exceptions to do with commerical hollowpoints).
OTOH, I think that the POTUS recently stated that we would afford full Geneva and Hague protection to our GWOT opponents.
I do personally not see why we cannot send our terrorist opponents to their just rewards as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Thanks for the response, and I agree 100%. If it kills someone more effectively, who cares, they're just as dead.
