| They don't like FAE's for one big reason, they have this tendency to suck all the oxygen out of the air and people die from a very painful and torturous death trying to breathe but can't. A horrific death by any measure and the Geneva Conventions are all about dispatching your enemy with the quickest most humane method.
The FAE also has a less painful in terms of a long drawn out death in that they exert a massive amount of force downward and troops in the blast area get pulverised. They are turned into sacks of liquified flesh with no semblance of structure as the bones are reduced to jelly. This does however have a profound impact psychologically on troops on graves detail, tagging and bagging the dead.
