“All’s fair in love and war.” But is it really? In today's episode, we dive deep into the question of whether all is truly fair in war. Using the ongoing conflict and other historical conflicts as case studies, we uncover the disturbing reality of war crimes.

"Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love or just because. No matter how pathetic the reason, it's enough to start a war."

“why do we have these rules…”

Canada. Canada is the reason we have these rules.

[djnyquil]

Rule #1 should be “if you are in a position of power in the government, you must fight in the war”

The game of football on Christmas day between Germany and United Kingdom whilst in the trenches is some of most finest military honour ❤

There is and always has been only one international law "Might doesn't make right, but without might right doesn't stand a chance"

Remember, all is fair in war. Except for the losing side

When I was in the US Army, we had many classes, at least quarterly on the Geneva Conventions, and then went through many hours of training before deployment, and more classes in the field. I've been retired for quite a while, but I think the new people are trained in these areas. At least I hope so. But I know that some of the people I served with didn't "like" the Law of War. But that is their problem. Law of War is something that applies to us as well as them. It's important.

The only rule I can think of for warfare is don't shoot the medic.

Every Infographics episode: "Welcome to my 20 minute video on a topic. The topic is this. Now here's 17 minutes of backstory before the 3 minutes of actual substance"

Regarding Operation Popeye, I think it was the Fat Electrician that said "its not a war crime the first time".

Rules of War#1 Don’t accidentally Introduce your ally that’s at war with Russia as “ President Putin “ on live television

Rules of War are really just words on paper. SOMETIMES consequences come from violating them, but that is rare.

For example, Medics (Army Combat Medics, Navy Corpsmen, etc.) are considered non-combatants and are not supposed to be fired upon. Yet it happens all the time in war. If it even gets questioned, the people shooting at medics often use the excuse that war is crazy (which it is) and that they had no way of knowing we are medics. It is probably obvious why we would be targeted.

Related to this, us Corpsmen are expected to treat enemy wounded as well as our own. Obviously we will treat our guys first, but we can actually get in big trouble if we do not heal an enemy combatant that we could have helped once the fighting is over.

The rules? The only rule is that war never changes…
