Part 2. The Geneva Convention Parts III and IV addresses who is a lawful and who is an unlawful combatant. My dad and I fell under Part IV, unlawful combatants. Being who we were, practically and historicly in war, in most places in the world, we could have easily been put up against a wall and shot. My dad was a USN Commander, and I was providing logistical, security, communications and tactical support, off and on, for him. For all intents and purposes, I was under his command. I answered directly to him. I was a child warrior. We were in Active Combat Zones more than once. We both served our country, he was predominantly military and I was predominantly civilian, but sometimes these lines get very hazy, very hazy indeed.
