WAR IS A CRIME
But I wish it was as simple as that.
We will sooner leave this behind if we just accept that it was wrong but done.
That's it. Shamefull display of violence and disregard for human life that was done and the only thing that can be done about it is not being repeated.
And not to go on a moral crusade here, I should be honest and say i'd done the same. If I can win the war with fever of my losses but at a great cost to the enemies nation, I'd do it. The people gave me a mandate to serve and protect and I'd do it even if I have to damn my soul.
