Well, no, you haven't. You seem to have left out all the detail
requiring "a distinctive uniform or insignia", a recognized chain of
responsibility for the actions of the combatant in the field, etc.

Now, a lot of those restrictions were removed in one of the more
recent addenda to the Conventions; an addition that neither the United
States nor Afghanistan signed or accepted.




Does a pok-a-dot Towel on the head and a beard count as a uniform? No I
guess not and
well chain of command was pretty loose...

Oh well
