Boobytrap
This is your JAG speaking:
The U.S. Army defines a bobbytrap as "an explosive or other device designed to kill or injure an unsuspecting person performing a seemingly innocent act."
Based on that definition, it is DOD implementation of the Geneva and Hague Conventions that we will not use booby traps.
We are not being coy when we train and equip soldiers to emplace "anti-handling devices" on the bottom of landmines. An enemy sapper attempting to disarm a land mine is not an "unsuspecting person performing a seemingly innocent act."
Sabotage of an RPG or other weapon warhead is perfectly lawful, is also dangerous to the technician making the modification. I don't trust the quaity control of the warheads that I would be modifying.
