I have to agree with MajorPo. The way nations try to formalise mass killing and make it seem like a civilised act with War, then have trials of officers of the losing side. It is kind of ridiculous.
Which part of taking a life is ok and which is a crime? Reasonable force? Because they started it? Of course it is a knotty problem but I do feel it is very conveniently used to paint good guys and bad guys.
It is similar to something I hear that winds me up - when people say 'That War wasnt legal' WTH? When was it ever 'legal' to go to War? Because a group of countries say it is ok, so it is?
I will stop now before I rant more
