1st

Hello

Thank you Simplehistory for this incredible to do list

how can it be a crime if there no police to enforce it ( the league of nation failed seem like nato is soon )plus if you win it doesn t apply to you ( exemple bombing civilian target during ww2 ) feel to me like the pirate code (the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules BARBOSSA

True

War is no sport.

@@animeXcaso Cope. What he says is true.

To some degree, it has to be like that. When an invader employs war crimes against defender, the defender feel required to fight on the most even ground they can. If invader employs war crimes in their strategy, the defender is at an unfair advantage if they continue to follow the rules.

​@@jonasgawhich is why rules of war are bogus. There are lives on the line, and they come before any "rules" for an already evil event.

That's where Constitution that needs to be followed both by government and people steps in. Depending on what's used in Constitution. It serves both as a means to preserve safety of civilians and/or government.

@@yeboxxxchannel2505 Yes, this piece of paper will save us because the other piece of paper won't. The Constitution, like any other set of rules, only matters if people are willing to follow it. If they aren't, it's useless.

@@SlurpeeBoy9999 ok you are right but at this point since it's true that barely anyone follows it. Do we all just admit Demoracy is a joke if not forced by people? I guess.

Not quite. There are certain limitations. "Grave Breaches." See Article 147 of the Geneva Convention relative to civilians. Mandates have consequences.

Governments can’t last without the support of its people. While it would be hard to rise up against a powerful totalitarian government, human will always prevails… whether in one generation or more, we are capable of toppling them.

India and Pakistan pretty much sticked to rules in war not bombed Civilians. But yes Pakistan Constantly voialate cease fire agreement

Cite your fun source

Does that mean you are indian ?

How is that a fun fact?

@@manubishe * ~Points outside~ *

Watching these comments makes me realize how many people are completely blind to the times the rules of war are followed. We will notice one bomb on a hospital, but not the hundred hospitals who did not get bombed

Pretty much every of them... Only defeated countries get held responsable.

Israel for instance will never be held accountable for anything.

@@JourneywithSmee where? At a Neurenberg style tribunal? Hamas will not be held accountable there either Syria and Hezbollah will not be held accountable there either Iran and their ultimate peace philosophy will not be held accountable either Thank you for mentioning only Israël

More like how many times they have shown me to my face that we do it

@jessicalacasse6205 Partisans are legal. Change my mind.

⁠@@jessicalacasse6205There is a police to enforce it… just as soon as they get to you. Also everyone bombed Civil targets in WW2 mostly to destroy enemy factories and military installations. Also they thought that bombing Civilians would make them less inclined to keep fighting, but that’s not how that works.

@@jessicalacasse6205why would nato decline?

Well their is the internet know

"The code is more like what you'd call guidelines than actual rules"

As Captain Barbossa said in pirates of the Caribbean “they’re more like guidelines”.

@@Casey757 yep guidelines for all to make the call rather to follow them or disregard them.

Yep, and then you end up hanged at le hague...

Plus some of these rules ironically cause more suffering by dragging out the conflict.

Funny how civilians can kill one another with hollow points, but the military can't.

Thank you! I was looking for this. I need to get his t shirt

The Fat Electrician! Love that guy! Warheads on foreheads!

How come it is not so the first time?

Brilliance- abhorrent actions are generally not recognised as an action of organisation. Abhorrent practices amount to war crimes by virtue of administration. There are all kinds of 'rules' that delineate 'civility' in industrialized society. It's like if we're playing tag and you get pegged in the genitals by a player trying to escape. If it happens once, it's something the other players might tell you not to do again, they might even laugh about it. If everyone's realising it works then it's "out of the realm of playing tag" in terms of realistic expectations. Humans are usually indoctrinated and act like that indoctrination is advancement of or upon a feral state.

@@dsxa918You seem fun!

legally ;)

Well here we do it all the time son, sounds like you need to get back to ur roots Should be a yearly family tradition

I don't know you,but you sure know how to party !

Go get fenrïr, we'll have some fun =)

I have a Norwegian Elkhound as a service dog...Best dog ever!!! ❤ 🐕

Lmao 😂

Hahaha you found the Easteregg

I remember seeing that footage. That was the infamous “collateral murder” video that was leaked by Wikileaks. Apparently the gunner had no idea those guys were journalists and civilians and were basically on their side. He opened fire on all of them. Crazy stuff.

Bro 💀

It's even more exciting there is no "do not try this at home"

Hi Vladimir nice anonymous account

"I got my napalm merit badge yesterday!!"

Your Canadian aren't you? They are more like Geneva suggestions.

To make the officers feel better about themselves

You certainly do have rules of war. Unfortunately anyone on the front lines will never feel it's existence.

Rules of war both established and published, and the unspoken ones.

I'll second that.

No, the US is just the empire from star wars and is cartoonishly evil

As far as I know, there's only one recorded case fitting that description. I don't recall all the details, but I believe the paratrooper was a British airman in one of the World Wars (WWI, I think).

There's a video of a Russian doing almost exactly that in Ukraine.

quackbang out

Putting warheads on foreheads

Yeah I don't think so

It's not a war crime if you win

Brooo😂

S U P R I S E !!!

​@@Lam6da98true

The narrator is not David Hayter, dude. What are you smoking?

And it still took them a year to allow us to send our F-16's to Ukraine. Chickens!

It was a real jump scare

I think we were all shocked the first time it happened

I did not enjoy that at all.

Not illegal at all, nor did it happen

@@reptiles3244Keep telling yourself that

Guess it was a good thing we haven't declared was since 1941.

You were in the salvadoran civil war as a medic? When did you serve friend?

@@aspecticle8905 I was there as a peace keeper in 1989. With several other US units, but mainly the 16th MASH.

Well shoot back.

@@TomFromRU-vid hard to do that when all they give you is a stupid little M-9. Pistol. They won’t let a medical track have a M-2 .50 cal as it an offensive weapon.

Not allowed

They still do. If you look at royalty around the world, they typically have or are serving in the armed forces. When WW2 broke out, the (UK) King at the time wanted to go to the front lines along with then-Prime-Minister Churchill. They say they had to restrain them from grabbing a weapon and running right into the action.

They're not pointless. It makes breaking the rules a taboo each side breaks sparingly. The rules mean prisoners are taken alive and treated well 98% of the time rather than 2% of the time. They mean that medics are usually not targeted. That cluster ammo and mines are used only when desperate and necessary and not as the default.

@@jessicalacasse6205 it's like speed limits. Most people don't follow them, police catch very few speeders. But the existence of speed limits do slow drivers down. If the limit is 30 you don't get many drivers going above 40, but if there wasn't limits you'd have drivers driving 40+ I'm sure

@@jessicalacasse6205the un is closer to the league nato is an alliance

​the league of nations has nothing to do with NATO, NATO is a deffensive military pact with. You do realize NATO outlived the warsaw pact right? You should cope whatever ia bothering you

True

War crimes are war crimes. The defeater angst won't absolve you.

​@@animeXcasoAbsolutely irrelevant.

Tell that to the German civilians burned alive at Dresden, German women and girls raped by Soviets in Berlin in 1945, the South Vietnamese civilians murdered by NVA forces ("But muh American war crimes muh Agent Orange reee!"), and the towns/cities burned by Union forces during the American Civil War.

@@andyfriederichsen None of those people were punished for their behavior. That's the point: if you win, you get away with it. Does that justify their actions? No, but that is also irrelevant.

Someone who has paid attention to history!

And the only time people are punished is if they lose. Types of things just make me laugh. Not from joy but exasperation.

Nope Sherman was the codifier of total war and he follows the rules to the letter.

and idelogies like communisim will play the unrestrctited warfare doctrine to try and take down anyone who threatens them and then some.

and used the red cross as a meat shield to move troops against china and viewed medics as easy kills etc. aka turn the rules of war against your enemies to weaken them by morals etc.

Jap"anes" you act like they're human.

😎👍

Nuclear weapons are de facto banned thanks to MAD.

With a nuc you have some time to get out of thr area before the fallout bio or chem you are at the mercy of the wind

A nuck normally are not use on combat bit as a prevention measure.

Buffy reference?

The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!😂

On Worms there was Holy grenade or bomb. Really loved to use it!

No because a lethal weapon is design to kill not permanently paralyze someone.

​@@emberfist8347can you move If dead?

Nope. William T. Sherman did total war and didn’t commit any violations of either treaty.

Suggestion? More like a checklist.

definitely just suggestions that shall be ignored no one is gonna brag about rules in a real firefight it only makes you a easier target on a battlefield

Wehrmacht be like

And the law dictates that those rules are then null and void. It only applies when the other side is also following it.

@@emberfist8347 yeah basically the rules are writen in a way to basically cover the fact that there are those who will try and use the rules of war against one side or another for propaganda reasons. in such case of this happening then it's fair game for the other side to prosecute any of those enemies taken alive for those crimes.

I know and I would wager that those who wrote the rules did cover that angle of non state actors trying to weaponize the rules of war against people to allow crimes to happen and bate people in to a propaganda trap. the signers of such must have to take that in to account and should have fail safes in place to punish those who play that tactic.

@@TheManofthecross Well if they don't make it a rule ASAP!!!!

hamas broke all rules, now will be wiped out.. including civilians...

Now I gotta replay that Game and Ponder why we have to only use ballistic weaponry all because someone made a No cheating in War Rule named after the Capital of Switzerland and a location in the Netherlands.

Weird way of counting you have. For every hospital bombed, there are hundreds untouched

He was right

Does that include the raping and torturing of women and children that the Japanese did in WW2?

@@allanshpeley4284 even is monstruous, yes, the only thing that keep from doing it is morality

​@@allanshpeley4284yes because that's how it works

​@@allanshpeley4284what war crimes did the japanese NOT do ?

What did Canada do? I'm seriously asking.

@@wyattpeterson6286because Canadians in both world wars were some the best fighters in modern history, so it’s possible they committed war crimes like killing pows that surrendered

@@vaguelymodest6239 Is there a book about that?

@@wyattpeterson6286 Quite a few things in the World Wars, but most of them came from the First War. One main thing the Canadian Army was known for was their exceptional low number of POWs captured. Canada was essentially the British Empire's shock troops when it came to trench warfare and especially at raiding trenches. They were known to take very few if any prisoners during the raids and quite a few instances of mutilating the bodies of the dead Germans. There were also several instances of them executing German soldiers after the soldiers surrendered to them. Another instance was around Christmas the Canadians threw cans of tin meat to the German trenches for a few days and after the Germans got use to it and didn't duck for cover they threw grenades at them instead. While around the same time in some other German/Canadian trenches the Germans tried to get another Christmas Truce between the two sides. After exchanging Christmas songs the Germans stood up out of the trenches and the Canadians shot them all down. There's a lot more different instances of Canadian war crimes but the main ones are of their treatment of captured, or lack of captured, German POWs.

Love the bomb

i think ur just slow tbh
