Doesn't the alternative amount to a policy of "It's OK to break our laws so long as you are a foreign military"?

- javagram 7y agoIf we got in a war with China and soldiers fought each other, we wouldn’t try to charge the soldiers with crimes after the war for killing our soldiers, even though murder is generally worse than hacking. (Excepting war crimes, but is hacking a war crime?) Considering many of these soldiers are probably conscripts and might be killed or imprisoned if they don’t follow orders to hack us, I can see the case for treating them like normal soldiers and not like criminals. On the other hand I guess charging individuals is a way for the government to ignore that ultimately China’s government is the one responsible for their military’s actions.
