    Are you actually saying that a soldier who participated in the Rape of Nanking, decapitated 30 babies, but who then felt bad and deserted before the end of the war, wouldn’t be a war criminal…?

    I honestly think the real confusion here is that you have no idea how the Geneva Conventions, ICJ, or just the concept of war crime culpability actually work…

    Hint: you’re so wrong, that it’s actually embarrassing. I’m cringing for you. You should delete your comment before anyone else stumbles across it…

      I think maybe you don’t realize that at no point did anybody say or imply in any way that Iroh was not a war criminal. You keep arguing that like it’s your main point of contention, but no one ever said that. The original comment was saying “he didn’t “get away” with war crimes by being cute. He “got away” with them by performing a huge heel turn.”

      That is what you responded, but for some reason, you were arguing something completely irrelevant to the conversation.

      What do you think you’re responding to?

      Who do you think I’m talking about? I thought it was pretty obvious one was a nazi. And the other was Iroh.

      Because you know. THAT was the comparison you made.

      Did I say or mention anything about rape or decapitation? No. So take your strawman and stick up your ass
