War Crimes
Why is it we only ever learn history from our point of view?
Why do we only remember the horrors that have happened to use? Yet we never remember the horrors we inflict on over?
What does the word LIBERATION mean to you? Does it mean where are trying to help support the people who have been oppressed by facist dictators or communists.
No it doesn't mean any of the above what it actually is a milatry term for beating, starving and pilaging the natives of the countries we are trying to "liberate". My one prime example is the battle (or should i say massacre)of the Vietnamese town of My Lai.
There was a Death toll reported of 149 which is estimated to actually be over 400 people. The massacre wasn't reported like many War Crimes the happen in almost every war ever recorded. The dictionary definetion of a war crime is:Any of various crimes, such as genocide or the mistreatment of prisoners of war, committed during a war and considered in violation of the conventions of warfare. Which they failed to add war crimes happen every day and the only way it is classed as a War Crime is once it gets caught.
