Editor's notes: Understand that words have more meaning, to Obama, in drawing people together, than any other single factor . . . and I mean to say that concept, "words have more meaning," has greater sway with this wannabe national reformer, than the actions he takes. While it is not obvious to some as to what he thinks he is accomplishing with the title change, may I suggest that the change is for no other reason than the nation that he prefers Islam to the White Man's Christianity . . . just ask Louis Farrakhan or Jeremiah Wright. Ocum Razor is at work, here. Don't know what that means? You might check out the definition. It is the rule most construction types follow when building new homes, or stair cases or cabinetry or whatever.

DoD Updates Doctrine on “Detainee Operations”
When it comes to Department of Defense doctrine on military treatment
of detained persons, “unlawful enemy combatants” are a thing of the
past. That term has been retired and replaced by “unprivileged enemy
belligerents” in a new revision of Joint Publication 3-13 on Detainee Operations, dated November 13, 2014.
Among other changes, the revised Publication adopts Article 75 of the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions which provide minimum standards for humane treatment of detained persons. It also presents expanded discussion of biometric capabilities that are applicable to detainees.
The previous edition of Joint Publication 3-13, published in 2008, is available here for comparison.
