This person and everyone who upvoted them should be in prison.
What the actual fuck? Why would they think this is an appropriate thing to just randomly bring up?
The only thing I can think of, is it was a circumstance where they could get others to absolve them of their guilt. It seemed to work too, because they got upvoted a lot for admitting to murdering a woman holding a child.
I wonder what the reaction would be if they were a Russian soldier who killed a Ukrainian woman 🤔
Maybe because of the last sentence.
The TL;DR version would be “I acted as a monster because of war. Fuck war”. I think something in the line of “I feel like shit” would help.
Man, this is shit you keep in therapy. Not an online forum.
You don’t understand! He has nightmares sometimes about it, and he also feels really sad when he thinks about it!
aww
Deeply upsetting, but I wouldnt call them a war criminal. If the soldier reckognized that the woman were a civilian, then I would agree.
He literally murdered a woman holding a baby. What is wrong with you?
Do you want me to be dishonest about what my impression is? Ofcourse it’s horrible. But war is forcing soldiers into chaos where they can die at any moment. They may have fractions of a second to evaluate whether a person is an enemy or civilian. It is irrational to expect that they are going to be perfect. And that is what this communicates to me. Because of the extreme condition, they end up killing civilians. Because of warmongering, we turn soldiers into murderers.
Its notable that your compassion only extends to the imperialist footsoldier murderer, not to the Iraqi woman and child.
It’s pretty abhorrent that you assume I have no compassion for civilians living in warzones.

I thought this community looked interesting, but it appears that I am at odds with the community. I don’t want to create friction for it’s sake in itself, so I’ll just engage in other communities instead. No hard feelings.
