Your CdM's China Warmongering Thread du Jour

Sorry, I meant the Socialist Armies. Americans know more about My Lai and little else.

Anyway, heck people, Siege even posted here about how to kill surrendering enemies and explaining to other US troops how to do it! Have you forgotten already?

I never read anything like that.

Help me out: are you maintaining that the US killed lots of surrendering troops during the Korean and Vietnam Wars or not?

[Neil]

You're allowed to kill franc-tireurs whether they surrender or not.  Or at least, you used to be able to until the Geneva Conventions faggoted everything up.

[Razgovory]

Of course, we know from experience in Korea and Vietnam that the GI habit of killing surrendering soldiers/POW is alive and well

We do?

I have no idea what the hell he's going on about.  He and the ambassador must have been just butchering people on the Angola Savannah or something and now he thinks that's normal.  Except those stupid Americans just don't know about it.

Incidentally,the photo he has is Americans who gunned down a bunch of camp guards at Dachau.  The Americans were rather upset about the whole death camp thingy.  Calling the camp guards soldiers is somewhat of a stretch considering what they were doing.  You can read about it in this book http://www.amazon.com/Dachau-Hour-Avenger-Eyewitness-Account/dp/0913159042 Which was curiously published pre-1990.  Fancy that.

Don't you listen to the "well-know anti-American anti-semites like Steven Spielberg and Clint Eastwood?" 

I'd also like to know when and where Martim Silva and his friends were fighting the LAH and learned that "for us, they were tough bastards."

Maybe that was something he learned while under the influence of the same drugs that made him believe Clint Eastwood was an anti-American anti-Semite.

"This country can't be knocked out by one punch;  we get right back up again, and when we do, the world's gonna hear the roar of our ovens."

[Admiral Yi]

What I got from Martim's Speilberg and Eastwood comment is that Saving Private Ryan and Gran Torino are historical documents which demonstrate the frequency with which GIs kill surrendering enemy troops.

[Ed Anger]

Goddamn Americans.

[Admiral Yi]

Seedy, I'm waiting for the Galaxy Quest still. 

[CountDeMoney]

Seedy, I'm waiting for the Galaxy Quest still. 

  That's such an awesome movie.

And in ww2 the German Army thought that the SS (especially the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler division) were only fit to look good on parades, as it seems that was all they could do.

Then those troops hit the field...

And got their asses kicked in Poland and somewhat in France and proved to be pretty crap units until later.

I learned something about that movie recently.  They have some nerdy trekky kid in the film, he later went on to be the "cool" guy in those mac vs pc commercials.

Heh, you can't get away with that shit in modern war very well, at least from my experiences. You can ignore it, as the media may, but it still gets found out. People always find out, there's always someone who hears something or knows, or the locals raise a huge stink, and they have a large voice in modern conflicts.

My platoon used proper escalation of force procedures back in 2008 against a vehicle coming towards our checkpoint which resulted in the death of a civilian which subsequently had no weapons or bombs on him.  Huge investigation and we were checked on semi-frequently afterwards.

I'm willing to bet over 90% of 'atrocities' committed by US conventional forces in the WOT are public knowledge, you just can't hide anything any more.
