if you take the time to do a quick search and look at the wikipedia for the geneva conventions , you'd see that most countries abide by them. Including America , which abides by all four conventions
1: Wounded Soldier Amelioration
2:wounded , sick and shipwrecked sailors amelioration
3:Treatment of prisoners of war
4:protection of civilians in time of war
and the three protocols
1:protection of international armed conflicts victims
2:protection of non international armed conflicts

Talk is cheap, facebook and blog posts are cheaper, the problem isnt that the intent isnt there, its that nobody is putting thier money where their mouth is except the extremists from both sides of the polarity.
And the only difference between left and right anymore is the excuses used to run others lives.

Churchill thought it would be cute to bomb Hamburg intentionally firebombing homes and killing 40,000. Civilians and bystanders were free game from that point of the war.

>>
>>28100438
You just can't help yourself, who said I support nazi bullshit? It was even noted that the luftwaffe strayed off course and accidentally bombed some London civilian homes while aiming for RAF targets during the blitz bombings. More people died in Hamburg than all the luftwaffe campaigns up until that point.
>>
>>28100411
The bombing of cities was a tremendous strategic mistake for both sides during the war. Focusing on critical industrial bottlenecks like ports, oil refineries, and ball bearing/engine factories with unique equipment would have been a much better strategic move.

Speer was the only one to put together a comprehensive plan for this, but Goering was a tremendous faggot as usual and refused to listen to him.

The Americans got it right by accident when bombing Ploesti, and managed to disable some engine and ball bearing production by luck.
>>
>>28100472
I bet he would have never launched V1's of V2's against London (even though they were to late to rank up the kills they were capable of) if Hamburg hadn't happened.
>>
>>28100487
So it's all okay then. So tell me why every war since WW1 the civilian deaths go up exponentially? And what the fuck do nukes have to do with anything, they are clearly not a real strategy and both the attacker and the target will surely be annihilated by one another or another nuke power allied with them.

Let me guess you also believe firebombing Tokyo and interning Japanese AMERICANS was a perfectly reasonable then to do?

>It was even noted that the luftwaffe strayed off course and accidentally bombed some London civilian homes while aiming for RAF targets during the blitz bombings.

There is no way you can seriously believe this. The Blitz was a dedicated campaign against civilian morale.

No, they tried to kill as many civilians as they could, the British just had a robust shelter system and the Germans has bombers with much smaller capacities than the British and Americans.
>>
>>28100601
Pretty much this.

We should have simply finished the job and resettled Japan with whites after the war.
>>
>>28100623
So with the invention venerable predator drone we ought to expect more civilian deaths than with the widespread use of mustard gas, artillery and strategic bombing campaigns. Go ahead and look at just how exponential those numbers are, there are plenty of sources out there.

>Geneva Conventions, the fourth convention prevents

Care to tell me how does a piece of paper prevent me from dropping a bomb on a hospital?
>>
>>28100672
The job of a government is to protect the people living in that country.

The United States didn't start the war, and they didn't want it. But once you put someone in that situation, they have the right to do whatever is necessary to protect themselves, and that includes removing your country as a threat.

If you don't like that, don't start wars. It's that easy.

And seriously, I must emphasize that it is a very, very recent development that we felt safe and secure enough to criticize ourselves for valuing our own lives. That kind of suicidal behavior simply couldn't exist in a time like the 1940s.

>>28100713
If you do, the other guy will bomb your hospitals, and kill your POWs.

You see, there's nothing stopping the other side from doing to you what you do to them.

That's why the laws of war exist. To prevent both sides from unnecessarily increasing the damage inflicted by the war.
>>
>>28100683
[CITATION NEEDED]

Show me one scrap of OFFICAL nazi doctrine that proves "they tried to kill as many civilians as they could". You comment about bombers is bullshit, they planned and offensively carried out the bombing of London if they wanted to drop more bombs they could've built more bombers before they started.

>>28100731
Who is this "other guy" that gains air superiority and can bomb American hospitals with impunity?

And POWs tend not be killed because they can be traded, not because of some bullshit piece of paper signed by feel good liberals
>>
>>28100717
What is all this we shit? You have a seriously malignant ego talking like you're some wise 80 year old or something. And it's funny how you presume to know what every person in government thinks their "job" it. Seems like Hitler thought it was his job to build a 1000 year reich to restore Germany to it's former glory and beyond. And Hirohito thought it was his job to attack China and rape Nanjing to expand his empire for his people. Using you logic I could justify Bolsheviks murdering 100 million Russians.
>>
>>28100744
>if they wanted to drop more bombs they could've built more bombers before they started.

No, they never made a successful heavy bomber and it was one of their greatest shortcomings during the Blitz.
>>
>>28100731
>If you do, the other guy will bomb your hospitals, and kill your POWs.
So the rules don't actually prevent anything then. There's a billion examples of various conventions being violated. Usually this is done either by the force that has a massive advantage (so they know that retaliation is unlikely) or by the force that is losing and starts fighting tooth and nail.

No, they tend to not be killed because 1) It's illegal and 2) It's psychotic to start murdering prisoners, Edgemaster Flash.

>>28100790
They don't have to hold up 100% to be useful, and worth keeping in mind.

Like, even during WW2, America and Germany didn't generally kill each other's POWs.

It's a sickness.

It's a moral degeneration, a complete disintegration of the ethics and reason that make our society possible.

It'd make me sick, but then I remember I'm on 4chan, and there was a loli thread last night that stayed up on here for like 12 hours.

But still, that's some sick, disgusting shit.
>>
>>28100783
What does that have to do with anything? So you counter all question with questions? My stance is that the allies were in many ways as bad as anyone else involved in that war. The main historical difference being that they won it.
>>
>>28100115
The US straight up bombed a hospital. Don't act like the GC means anything anymore.
>>
>>28100863
The point is that there are no official documents saying "MURDER THE CIVILIANS!" because that would be fucking retarded. The fact of the matter is that they sent bombers to preform bombing runs over civilian areas on man occasions. There is no reason to believe that they wished to avoid civilian casualties.
>>
>>28100590
The idea of a convention is just 'Hey faggots, if you promise not to torture our guys, we promise not to torture yours."

Anyone that doesn't want their dudes tortured will typically agree to that. Don't want your boys getting gassed or blinded for life over a border change because you don't feel like supporting 30,000 blind veterans for the next 60 years? Suggest that you won't gas or go around blinding their boys if they promise to do the same to you.

It works fine until someone gets desperate.

You'd have a point if the US purposefully targeted hospitals but the Kunduz bombing was neglect, not malicious intent.

Well, I'm trying to say something along the lines of "you're a sick fuck" and "I bet you're the kind of person that would fuck a man in the ass and not even have the common god damned courtesy to give him a reach-around afterwards."

Because seriously, this shit isn't normal. It isn't normal to be a member of a society and think "you know all of those things that help people and have personally made my life much better, fuck that."

And firebombing the shit out of the Japanese was a major part of that. The Emperor himself joined the peace faction after seeing what had happened to Tokyo. It saved millions of lives.

You are a deranged human being, and I can only hope that you never manage to harm another person by putting your views into practice.
>>
>>28100900
This is getting so muddled, they fucking all did it. I am personally unable to justify murdering innocents, civilians, non-combatants I could give a fuck what some edgemaster argues. I never will be able to nor will I sign my consent to any regime to do it no matter how good they are perceived by the general public to be.
>>
>>28100966
Are you this drunk already? So it's sick to think "defending your country is the same thing as attacking other countries" but it's okay to murder 100's of thousands if it demoralizes the enemy or as you say ("saves millions of lives")?

So let me get this straight you've admitted to having a god complex (claiming to know the future) yet I'm the sick one?

I'll only kill to defend my or my family's life and only as a last resort. But you'll kill as a preemptive stratify (and claim you did so to save future lives as if to imply omnipotence required to know such a future fact) correct?
