Being in the military, I know that a lot of your ideas about war are colored by your own biases. We have laws in war where we CANNOT attack certain things (such as medical personnel, hospitals, civilians, schools, etc.) And when they are, these actions are just as much met with punishment in the military as they are in the U.S justice system. Just because individuals have done what they thought was right for their country does not mean that was backed by our country. If you care so much about American policy, why aren’t you voting? Why don’t you know policy? Why don’t you even know the names of our leaders beyond the overused target, the president? He is not the sole maker of policy. To tell you the truth, I think SOAD was probably thinking about the Armenian genocide when they wrote it. If not, the genocide may unconsciously color their own ideas of American warfare.
