Getting close...didn't mean to get off-topic in the first post of the thread, sorry...went down to meet the fam earlier this year, and learned that I don't have any common sense, that I'm not raising my dogs right, that I should look for a better job, that I don't eat right, that she was amazed that I could dress myself...quite a peach, mum is!
Wait till they start on the "when you having kids".....
Originally posted by RSMA1234The USA defines war crime. Anything they don't like they get a law made up so that it becomes a war crime to do it. For instance, what Hitler did with the Jews was a war crime, sticking them in concentration camps, killing them and experimenting and whatever other horrible stuff went on. But, what US did to the Japanese during the same time was quite alright; basically the same thing sticking them in concentration camps, causing their deaths do to the conditions in these camps, treating them as if they werent humans. So that settles it anything the US doesnt like is a war crime.
