Justified against unarmed civilians?

- crikeykangaroo 1y agoThat's indeed how it usually goes with these lunatics. 1) Commit war crime. 2) Face the music for a moment. 3) Go to a friendly podcast and raise support (just say you have trauma and pain, and the people you've killed were animals anyway). 4) Become a free man. 5) Optionally for Seals: write a book with a chapter about hell week (can be done @ step 2 as well)
- braincat31415 1y agoGeneva Convention articles allow targeting civilians only when they directly participate in hostilities. Other than that, a willful killing of civilians is always a war crime. The Pentagon setting its own rules of engagement does not change anything. Following the same rules, civilian defender in the US will find him/herself in prison very quickly. Ability, opportunity and intent will not be proven by stating that the defender felt threatened.
