The properties of the 5.56 MM come close to violating the prohibition of using expanding bullets in warfare. Stupidity. War is war, and all is fair when trying to win.

War is war, and all is fair when trying to win. The Geneva Conventions prohibitions against exposed lead on bullets were signed about the time that bullet velocities were exceeding the magical 2400 fps threshold where bullet do crazy things when destabilized. Smokeless powders and spitzer bullets obviated the need for soft points.
