5 days agoIt’s literally a war crime to attack people who are not actively participating in combat. That includes people who are members of your enemy’s military.
I’m willing to argue that the unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor was replete with war crimes by modern standards. I’ve cited some documentation above.

It’s simple mystifying to me that any of this is controversial.
