that's funny! did you watch
The War?
It was funny too! We killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in Italy alone. We shot prisioners dead. I had heard of the Germans doing it, but we did too. I don't know if the Captains that ordered realized they were ruining the long standing US rules, but they did it. Oh, and if we did happen to have a Japanese soldier surrender on Okinawa we torutured the shit out of him to hopefully learn where others were hiding.
You guys are historically goofy.
i think the point of the cited parts of the War was that any war is going to have those things. You should factor into the decision to have a war that bad shit will happen. of course I'm sure there are blogs-a-plenty that say what bush/Cheny has "allowed to happen" is only on par with the gulags.
