Mike, thanks for some very informative links.
So the USA has signed and ratified, but that only applies (in law) when at war with the
official army of any other country which has signed. Rebels and other revoltin' types certainly haven't signed.
Never minding the question of whether an Iranian signature in 1907 really applies to an country calling itself The Islamic Republic of Iran, or a Chinese signature in 1917 really applies to the The People's Republic of China, let's look at who has never signed:
Iraq, Korea (of either flavor), Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt, Yemen
It would be a lawyer's nightmare to try to keep the right ammo out of the wrong war
I really wonder how they plan to keep violations of this convention from happening, should Venezuela "put its guns where its mouth is" and declare war on the Yankee Devil, for example.

Who is actually not worried about micromontenegro or Venezuela going to war with USA. He was striving for an example which made its point by being ridiculous.
