I honestly expected more outrage from people : this weapon usage is exactly the kind of thing the Geneva convention was all about, just not mentioned by name. It's worrying that everyone is ok with one country sending troops to microwave their enemies and steal away their leader.

The Geneva convention has been ignored for a very long time. Example: Using a .50 cal on humans is against the Geneva convention and yet has been used quite frequently in combat everywhere for the last 30 years. The only benefit I have seen and experienced from the Geneva convention was to get out of palletization (their odd term for mobility training) when I was in the military as at the time I was a sole survivor DoD Directive 1315.15 derived from the Geneva convention. I was honestly surprised that even worked. Instead they made me clean ceiling lights for a few hours.
