Do you guys think that landmines should be banned by the Geneva Convention for future wars?
I say yes, because Landmines are a very dangerous threat to civilians. Every now and then on the news, you'll hear that some one had their leg blown off or were killed by a landmine in Africa or something. These weapons were forgotten about and are later triggered by civilians. I mean, from WWII, some Germans plant mines in an apple orchard where they think there will be heavy allied movement. Turns out they were wrong, and no one steps on them for 50 years. Then, Little susie, Little Billy, Mommy and Daddy are walking through that apple orchard for a picnic. Little Susie steps on an S-Mine, it pops up, blows up, spreading marble sized shrapnel pieces everywhere, killing all 4 of them. This is why i think landmines should be banned, because after the war is over, those things are still killing people, except these people have no intent to kill and are innocent
