Our current enemies don't give two s***s about the Geneva Convention.


Your allies, however, do. That's why your allies care about your enemies. The Geneva Convention exists not to let its member nations scream "you're not following the rules" when somebody breaks it, but rather to unite those nations behind the cause of stopping any nation that does perpetrate such war crimes.

I say we should simply abolish it, and win all wars, at ALL costs.


That's pretty easy for somebody to say who will never in any way be involved in bringing about such an outcome. If you aren't ready to personally mow down a militant's grandmother to get to him, then you're in no place to suggest that anyone else should do such a thing.
