docyabut2 Posted April 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Gas weapons were was always used in killing many people and children in Germany , Iraq many ect.ect.

Orphalesion Posted April 17, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 17, 2018 How about we add standard bombs to that? Read some first-hand witness accounts from civilians during any given bombing raid or occurrence of shelling (such as during the siege of of Sarajevo, or what's been happening in Syria for the past several years) Nobody ****ing deserves that. But I gotta say I don't agree with this: 52 minutes ago, docyabut2 said: Why don't they just get back to a war in just a solider fighting a solider, over the good rights of men and lands to bring peace to the great countries of the world of which all man should do Because the way you write it here makes it seem like a bit of a romanticism of older warfare. it was still hell and often there were people involved that didn't want to be there. And even older warfare was rough on the civilian population. After days of fighting some soldiers can be very messed up (consider they didn't know much about the psychological effects yet and provided no help or support in that direction) and when the city finally fell... well Troy was a fictional account, but it stands to reason that it's a standard depiction of what went down then.

Cyclon B? I assume at least, because the various armies didn't fight with gas weapons in Europe. The horror they Civilians were put through everywhere from London, over Hamburg to St.Petersburg/Leningrad was still bad enough, though and in many places there were rumors circulating about gas weapons, possibly fueled by people succumbing to monoxide poisoning and by propaganda. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the OPs statement or mine? if the former, yeah it was very misleading and could conjure up the wrong ideas, when it was really the German government itself that was killing German and Eastern European civilians using poison gas.

Gromdor Posted April 17, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 17, 2018 You know, dead is dead. Getting burnt alive with a flame thrower or napalm, buried alive with a bulldozer, blown to bits with a predator drone, or shot with a rifle all kinda suck. I always thought it was silly of us to think that any weapon is more horrible than another. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone dies from one hit kills with any weapons. Some linger for hours, days or weeks. Gut shot with a rifle, crushed under debris for a few days, 90% body burned but still on life support, etc. War is not clean or pleasant by any means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankenhunter Posted April 18, 2018 #19 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) It really sucks but the purpose of war is to win. To destroy your enemy to the point where they won't be able to attack you again for a long time. It's not nice, it's not pretty, nor is it fair. If it was it would always end in a draw. War can be an instrument of peace or evil. The character of the key players is what decides what weapons are used and how they are deployed. The use of chemical weapons illustrates this. The fact that Trump and a few allies launched missiles against Assad is laudable but was ultimately a waste of money and time as they accomplished very little. In fact, both times missiles were launched in retaliation for using chemical weapons against Assad's regime he was forewarned and very little damage to to his chemical manufacturing infrastructure was done. Here's the latest report on on the latest strikes. http://www.businessinsider.com/israeli-intelligence-trump-syria-strike-failed-2018-4?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark If any Damage had been done the Israeli's would have been the first to celebrate it. They hate Syria with a passion. You be the judge, Hank Edited April 18, 2018 by Hankenhunter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't argue that such things aren't replete with double standard and hypocrisy. I think that we should just stay out of sovereign states' business.

RavenHawk Posted April 19, 2018 #24 Share Posted April 19, 2018 What's the deal with CS gas? Every year, we had to go through the gas chamber so that we could spend the rest of the day discharging mucus. Good times. The deal with war is that it isn't peace. The purpose is to destroy your enemy as quickly as possible and make it distasteful to him from trying it again. In war, anything goes. Only the victor will determine what were crimes or not. Many times the victor will ignore their own atrocities and condemn the same from the vanquished. Banning certain kinds of weapons usually happens by consensus on the battlefield. As long as both sides don't cross the line then things are fine and the ban lasts only as long as both sides don't violate it. You can't legislate war. Don't try. There is no fair play in war. You hit when they aren't looking. You kick them when they are down. You use every dirty trick in the book you can. You want it to end as soon as possible.
