Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

Would love to ask the folks who lined up before dawn at Target for a swag bag “filled” with goodies and walked out with a reusable grocery bag and a pack of Uno cards, “how does it feel to get played?”
I honestly do not know why anyone is still loyal to that store. This is hilarious though 😂
