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. http://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/investigation-into-alleged-war-crimes-by-australian-soldiers-commences/ Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 7 November 2019 2:44:10 PM

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. Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 7 November 2019 3:26:16 PM

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.
