- mpyne 13y agoYes, the perpetrators got off with essentially no punishment whatsoever, the U.S. tried to cover it up, one of the very few heroes was actually punished even further for allowing the story to come out. All deplorable, and a very deep stain to have associated with the U.S. for all time. But what does that have to do with the definition of a war crime?
- jlgreco 13y agoHow the fuck do you think this is about the definition of war crimes? This is about what we consider valid defenses, and our ability to prosecute war crimes. Do you not understand how our absolute failure to prosecute the My Lai Massacre might be relevant to how we prosecute war crimes? Christ, it is almost as though you have absolutely no interest in understanding what people are saying to you.
