Since you brought up the law, I will just say that there are many examples of far more deadly engagements not being treated as war crimes, both on land and at sea (even with sailors in the sea after a ship is fired upon until sunk). But, if Chris mentions something first, no one is allowed to bring up counter-examples from history, lest they be accused of "whataboutism." (Apparently, Chris thinks the order in which arguments are made is very important. I assume he teaches this in class, "Remember, you cannot rebut with examples! If you want to make a point, you have to speak first, not second. The person who speaks first always wins, because rebuttals will only be ridiculed as whataboutism.") Also, since I don't really care about convincing you, I'll just let it go for now. Maybe Chris will give me permission to speak in rebuttal, but I think he hates being challenged with facts.

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.

I totally stand behind Adm Bradley. He acted on his own, you know, like a hero. [LINK] - Chris94 - 8:36pm 12/1/25 (10) [View All]

- Would you prosecute him for war crimes? If not, why not? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 9:17pm 12/1/25
  - Yep. Hegseth first, then the admiral, for executing an illegal order. [NT] - Chris94 - 11:58pm 12/1/25

      - Wouldn’t the law be the starting point? Then apply the facts. - conorlarkin - 3:36am 12/2/25
    - But since this was not a war, then it’s murder. Time for Trump to issue more pardons. [NT] - conorlarkin - 10:23pm 12/1/25
      - We haven't had a war since 1945. Do you think the law of war might apply in non-war conflicts? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 2:22am 12/2/25
