@H2O MAN,
Quote:War encompasses civilians, it's unavoidable.
No, those are war crimes as established largely by the USA after WWII. Those are war crimes for which Japanese and German leaders were put to death. Specifically targeting civilians, as the US did and has done, numerous times, is a war crime.
Quote:The Alies targeted entire German and Japanese cities filled
with civilians during WWII and it helped bring the war to
an end much, much quicker than if they had not done this.
While that may be an expedient that serves your abysmally low moral compass well, these events still were war crimes.
But as morally reprehensible as the US's behavior in WWII was, it represents only a tiny portion of the evil that the US has heaped upon the poor of the world since and before that event.
