Is Mise,
Good to see you calling Paul out on his lie. Despite your persistance he will not acknowledge his lie or apologize, the left have not the character to do that. But the fact remains that he cannot substanciate his claim. It will be noted by other posters.

Paul that helps and I see and understand the way it became a part of the thread
Lets be honest SOME are without reason or understanding
My reading of that man is far worse
But yes war is and always has been dreadful
Look at the MASS MURDER of Inias innocents by British troops in the so called salt wars
Too the films the USA want to kill wikileaks founder for showing us
murder clearly of clearly innocent folk
Syria right now and half the world watches and does nothing

Just for you HenryL, good to see you pop your head in, I'll repeat evidence that Issy was not willing to acknowledge.

Account of Corporal John Pluck Korean War veteran, clearing of a village. "It (the village) was heavily damaged; holed walls, sagging roofs, debris strewn between cottages (the result of allied shelling)....I heard a low moaning coming from one of these houses that had a shell hole in the roof....peering in I could make out the prone outlines of a man, a woman and several children coated in thick dust. A huge gash in the scalp of one of the children, a little girl, perhaps seven years old." Corporal Pluck carried her out, helpless, he handed her over to an old woman. He later heard the child had died the same day.

"I was 23 years old, a leader of men, but this disturbed me a great deal." Corporal John Pluck.

Now you can pull your head out.

Dear Paul,

Denying military misconduct is not a moral exercise
by any side. It happens as history has shown.
Much has been written on the subject by veterans
involved in the conflicts. The claims are not
ludicrous or lies. And they have occurred in even
more recent conflicts that our soldiers have been
involved in - like Afghanistan.

Dear Paul,

Should we have military ethics committees for our armed
forces?

It seems wise to intensify the ethical discussion,
especially when a polarization of opinion can be observed.

As human beings and societies, we are not immune to
doing bad things, but we can build guardrails to keep
ourselves on track.

Western ethical standards and international law declares
torture and certain other acts as being despicable.
