28. A resolution will make life easier for them
And prevent bad PR, nothing more.

I mean really, imagine the ICC serving criminal papers on a U.S. soldier in the midst of his unit. What commanding officer will let that happen?

If you allow U.S. soldiers to be prosecuted for actions they take in missions that are humanitarian in nature, the U.S. simply will opt out. Is that what you want?

Under that plan, Clinton would have never sent troops to the Balkans for instance. Or we'd have nothing to do with Haiti or Liberia, etc.
