Hello Nick,If you think that the articles of the Geneva Convention did not apply to the US prior to 1949, then you are wrong.
If you think that I would bother to correct you if I didn't think it was important, then at least have the courtesy to check your facts.
The first "Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of
the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field" was signed by 12
countries. The international treaty, known as the Geneva Convention,
also guaranteed the neutrality of members of the Red Cross.The United States was accepted and granted accession in 1882.
