Assassination should always be the first strike in war. Take out the leader before he destroys hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of lives. I'm sick

Assassination should always be the first strike in war. Take out the leader before he destroys hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of lives. I'm sick of 18-30 yr olds dying for old men with big ego's.

- PradeetPatel 4y agoPretty sure the act of assassination is considered a war crime, and no modern, civilised nation would start a war with war crime. Under Article 8(2)(b)(xi) of the 1998 ICC Statute, “[k]illing or wounding treacherously individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army” is a war crime in international armed conflicts. There is a reason why rules of engagement were created, to minimise civilian casualty, and to reduce suffering for all parties involved.
