Justifying war crimes - the American way

Listen, Russians are literally Orks, tho. They're not humans. You can kill as many as you want and it's fine.

If you think this take is hot, wait till you hear what we think about Palestinians, Mexicans, and anyone from Detroit.

Hey did you know that, under the US military’s Code of Conduct, captured servicemembers are required to use any and all means at their disposal to escape and return to friendly forces?

This is how soldiers are trained in all militaries, and yet it is still a violation of the Geneva Conventions to murder prisoners of war.

For more information, do some research on SERE

Umm, what if you could stop people from escaping without executing them?!
