If a man is so uncontrolled he cannot help but rape his co-workers I do not want him with any weaponry or representing my country. The whole point of a well-trained militia is to drill into soldiers the capacity to commit violence only when needed and to have the discipline to individually perform their tasks to win a battle. We expect better behavior from attack dogs!

Soldiers are people trained to go to war. They do not "represent" a country; they go, kill other people or die. It's not olympics. They go to an environment without rules. It's not a boxing match with a referee.

    Apologies I didn't reply to you comment, I didn't notice it, happens when you're voicing unpopular opinions and lots of people want to tell you you're an idiot. I can tell from your comments you've never been in a firefight and your political leanings. War has rules of engagement, yes. But both sides have to agree to abide by them. But I can guarantee that in the heat of battle any rules go out the window and survival is all you care about. An emotion afterwards is all there is, especially when you are young and undereducated. You ideals don't mean much. People seem to think in this thread I'm trying to make excuses for this behaviour. I'm not. I'm providing reasons.

Watch a few clips from Ukraine-Russia war, what those soldiers are doing. The movies are on Reddit. This has nothing to do with any rules, Geneva Conventions or whatever. War rules are only there in order to make people like you happier, but if war happens, they're out of the window.
