Suddenly, from left field:
“Is the treatment of prisoners of war really the hill you want to die on?”
Yes.
100% yes. Starting in the 1990s.
#mod vent#so many pony blogs endorsed summary execution of changelings a decade ago#not merely by the guard but by the state#and argued that it was fine because the changelings are not party to the Geneighva Conventions#while ignoring the Articles of War and the Law of Armed Conflict and most pressingly the UCMJ#you cannot kill someone in custody#unless they pose an active clear and immediate threat a prisoner of war is under your protection#anybody who talks about Take No Prisoners Missions has no idea what they are talking about#unless they are romanticizing the Golden Age of Piracy#or citing German Army behavior circa 1944#or played too much Call of Duty or something#no quarter is a war crime#it is also a violation of the 1907 Hague Convention but I assume you all know that#it is also a violation of United States military law no later than 1882
