The military is taught to follow orders. Rumsfeld was giving the orders and he likes oil, and dislikes claims that Arabs had ever experienced civilization.

No, the military is taught to deal with the immediate danger, and oil fields were the immediate danger... Do you understand anything about the military? So, you are asserting that the U.S. military is taught to violate the Geneva Convention? <<< Amnesty International reminds the occupying powers that they are obliged to ensure, if necessary, the provision of food and medical supplies to the inhabitants of the occupied territories (Article 55 of the Fourth Geneva Convention). The Fourth Geneva Convention further states that the occupying power has the duty "of ensuring and maintaining, with the cooperation of national and local authorities, the medical and hospital establishments and services, public health and hygiene in the occupied territories". The occupying powers should also ensure the availability of necessary supplies so that hospitals and medical services can work properly. >>> web.amnesty.org
