Direct, deliberate attacks on civilians and on that which is needed for their sheer survival (farms, homesteads and buildings, livestock, crops, and water supplies) with the purpose of terrorizing and/or exirpating the civilian population as such, is a war crime. Washington would not do this. Lee would not do this. Our best warriors have always said that.

It pertains to the honor of the American Fighting Man, that we know the difference between a legitimate act of war, and an atrocity. I make reference to the UCMJ and the U.S. Army Field Manual, as well as many other documents of a binding statutory nature. Our men are to honorable soldiers, not war criminals. They are to be faithful ("Semper Fidelis") to an unbending code of honor.

Were it otherwise, I would not stand for my son to be a U.S. Marine.

“It pertains to the honor of the American Fighting Man, that we know the difference between a legitimate act of war, and an atrocity.”

Yes can you imagine the Marines digging up women’s silver tea sets in their backyard and taking their very last chicken or pig leaving them and their children to starve? No way. Today if you tried to get our kids in the military to do that they would never do it. Its sickening.

1864 is a far cry from 2014. The South took up arms against the duly elected government of the United States(that constitutes armed rebellion, treason) with the intention of preserving slavery and expanding it into Kansas which at the time was applying for statehood. Dance around that fact Mrs. Don-o all you want , you’re entitled to your own opinions, all of us are. We are not however entitled to our own facts. The South ‘’opened the ball’’, in the parlance of the day, they fired the first shots in a war they had every intention of winning and in the they lost. deal with it.

So members of the U.S. 8th Air Force, the RAF Bomber Command, and the U.S. XXI Bomber Command in the Pacific were all war criminals?
