assault...

minimal punishments, if any, for those caught...

civilians weren't killed intentionally and most iraq civilian numbers are inflated

we permit torture to save our own lives

Eh, yeah, butchering an entire town with a machine gun is usually

not because we think torture is moral

pretty accidental

I agree

I mean, who hasn't done that once or twice?

c'mon

Also, torture's ineffective, people'll just tell you what you want to hear more or less

no one did that

plus, we kinda

use it against civilians

that's a seperate argument

like that, or

do you think that we should get rid our military?

Slash funding severely I say

cut all aid to Israel

keep some troops stationed in Rojava, purely defensively, until local militas are able to take over the situation

then pull out

what was the conclusion of that?

did they conclude that it happened?

Uh

I mean, the corpses kinda speak

no

the court

what did it conclude

IIRC, in this incident, the guy said that "If what he did was a crime, then most soldiers would be prosecuted"
lemme find it

you're also

presuming the court is infallible

it's better to presume you're infallible

and not, y'know, biased in favor of the soldiers with guns fighting for lobbied oil interests

So you're saying that if a nation doesn't recognize its own war crimes

everything is ok?

you should be used at the objective beacon then

I'm telling you that you don't have proof that it happened

and even if it did

it's a rogue action

not one the military ordered
