seunny4lif:I understand your point, American soldiers has violated the Geneva convention guiding the protections of unarmed civilians, woman, children and prisoners of war during their military operations, during the vietnam war it was wildly reported of how American marines raided Vietnamese villages, raped the women, tortured and executed the men. I watched a video footage on Al jazeera of how American air strike was deliberately aimed at innocent Iraqi civilians, children less than 2 years old were elder killed or maimed, an entire family was wiped out, but yet no US military personnel who ordered the operations were ever brought out to face trial. 1 Like |
