Correct.
True.
There is not a "Geneva Convention" - rather, there have been a series of conferences which have produced multiple treaties which comprise the Geneva Conventions. They cover agreements on the proper conduct of warfare. See the related question for more information about each treaty and what it covers. Also, see the link on The Hague Conventions for more treaties related to the conduct of war.
So that they wouldn't have to deal with the criticisms of the general public and so there would be no peer pressure.
http://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/CONVPRES?OpenView First off, there is no "Geneva Convention". The Geneva Conventions (plural) are a series of international treaties. Most deal with the proper conduct of warfare (i.e. the "rules of war"), but there are others which deal with economic issues. You need to be much more specific as to which Convention you are referring to. Also, the link above only show some of the Geneva Conventions on warfare, but not all of them.
Rules of conduct in war clearly specify that a white flag is to be used strictly as a protective sign for negotiations or surrender. Any improper use of a white flag is defined as a war crime under the Geneva Convention.

The Geneva Convention establishes the rules of conduct among its signatories.
It is Article V of The Code of Conduct for Members of the United States Armed Forces, which reads:"When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause."
The Geneva Convention requires all prisoners of war give their captors their name, rank, and service number. Captors are required to treat you according to your rank.
A prisoner does not have to eat in prison if he doesn't want to. Many prisoners conduct hunger strikes in an effort to raise awareness of prison conditions or other issues.

The Hartford Convention was located in Hartford, Connecticut. The main goal of the New England Federalists was to voice their opinion that the Constitution favored the South more heavily than the North as well as to demontrate how Madison's conduct during the war was not benefiting the North. The Hartford Convention was really about states' rights and the rights' that states as individual entities have underneath the Constitution.
