@TheMattMercy@ThaMattMercy@KaoticLeftist You're using the law. War crimes are written under the Geneva Convention. It's the law. If you don't want to talk about war crimes don't cite the law.
@TheMattMercy@EtienneCote4@KaoticLeftist And I pointed out to you that not every solider who fought in the German army was tried for war crimes even though they invaded other countries.
@TheMattMercy@EtienneCote4@KaoticLeftist I literally do not care about you flashing your leftist creds. And no, I don't. We also hired the lead developer of the Nazi's V-2 rocket to head NASA. What US policy is, or was, doesn't dictate what should have been done.
@TheMattMercy@ThaMattMercy@KaoticLeftist Who said "justified"? I'm agnostic. I don't blame soldiers who are in war. I blame the people at the top making the decisions.
@TheMattMercy@EtienneCote4@KaoticLeftist It's a war crime for the people who issued the orders. Not every soldier who was in the German army under the Nazi's was hanged.
@TheMattMercy@ThaMattMercy@KaoticLeftist All the time. That's just not true. Even if they were, there are those that are just terrified. So I don't really blame them. There are the junkies, which I have less sympathy for.
@TheMattMercy@ThaMattMercy@KaoticLeftist Rival soldiers in a foreign army aren't "innocent people." If you're sent to war, even for unjust reasons, those people want to kill you. Hence why I don't really care about soldiers killing others. You're making this absurd claim that every soldier is committing war crimes...
