According to pediatric neurosurgeon and potential 2016 presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson, one of the main impediments to U.S. military success against ISIS in the Middle East is the fear of prosecution when those conducting the operations return home. In Carsons view, we need to eliminate all rules in the fight against ISIS if we ever want to win. <\/p>\n
Our military needs to know that theyre not going be prosecuted when they come back, because somebody has said, You did something that was politically incorrect, Carson told Bill Hemmer on Fox News Monday morning. There is no such thing as a politically correct war. We need to grow up, we need to mature. If youre gonna have rules for war, you should just have a rule that says no war. Other than that, we have to win. Our life depends on it. <\/p>\n
While there may be no such thing as a politically correct war, there is such a thing as the Geneva Conventions to which the United States is a party. And there are such things as war crimes, for which military leaders can be prosecuted if they are committed. <\/p>\n
