>US ratified the second (1907) Hague Convention IV-23, which says "To employ arms, projectiles, or material calculated to cause unnecessary suffering", similar to IV-3 of the first Convention. For years the US military respected this Convention and refrained from the use of expanding ammunition, even made special FMJ .22LR ammunition for use in High Standard pistols that were issued to the OSS agents. The US Army has mentioned that it has been considering using the ammunition for side arms, with a possible start date of 2018.
Why is using hollow points in war considered "unnecessary suffering"?
Please enlighten me as to why we still don't use them and any examples of our military ammo and how it compares to modern civilian JHP would be cool, thanks.

well, the military doesn't use them because JHP's don't work well against modern body armor.

The Hague Convention was signed by a bunch of politicians who didn't know anything about war. War is what happens when negotiations fail. The only rule of war is that might makes right.
