    Thank you for the insight, I’m still unsure if this is a war crime but it likely warrants scrutiny from the relevant authorities.

    I think people often chuck the declaration of war crime around a bit too quickly and without a proper understanding.

      I’m glad I could be of a little help. Nations have been trying to clearly define these things for centuries.

      I think your final statement is why I’m here. A lot of internet discourse around war immediately resorts to calling everything a war crime. That’s an incredibly precise label and we can’t always be certain. What I know for sure is that war is hell and undue suffering is wrong.
