I seem to have got my moral compass skewed.
Can Ppruners please help me with a compass swing?
Can posters just confirm we all agree on these statements please?
1. Taking photos next to dead bodies of combatants in post fight adrenaline rush is reprehensible.
2. Gun camera footage and guided bomb footage showing actual kills is good and suitable for transmission on the news.
3. Shooting pilot under parachute post dogfight is bad because he cannot fight back despite the fact that when he lands he will get in another aircraft and be used against you.
4. Shooting pilot of enemy transport plane is good despite the fact that he cannot fight back because the materiel or personnel on board will be used against you once they land.
5. Carpet bombing cities full of unarmed women and children is good and bomber command deserved a medal.
6. Spending your entire career as a V force pilot waiting to nuc Russian cities full of non combatants is good and praiseworthy.
7. Anti personnel mines are bad because they maim.
8. Bullets are good because they kill.
9. Torture is a bad thing and anyway studies show it doesn't work.
10 The Germans used torture to roll up French resistance networks and our military assumes that knowledge you have will be compromised after capture because torture works if you are a bad guy.
I'm sure I missed a few.
