ok... so if in the heat of battle an officer or nco cracked under stress and started summarily executing soldiers for cowardice
to make an example to motivate the others to fight on..

He'd have on the spot or asap afterwards made proper formal written records and filed and archived them for posterity...???

Where exactly in the mud and blood, and explosions atomizing all around, might those papers have been stored for safe keeping
until they were taken back to command...???

Even in the near certain event of his own death during that battle....

How deep was the water and mud... ???

oh yeah right... evidence...

and witnesses... when lines of men were dropping like flies or being vapourized unaware what might be happening mere yards behind...???


Teribus - you might be absolutely right.. and there is no evidence or witnesses because such war crimes never happened...

Though on balance of probabilities, can you produce convincing evidence it definitely never ever happened..

not even once or twice... or often... in all that utter fucked up traumatizing chaos and carnage


Armies might have been very good at turning blind eyes and keeping dirty secrets to protect their own...

Come on Teribus.. this is a folk music site... use your imagination and empathy to think a little more like a creative artist for a change...

Break out of your straight jacket and blinkers... it could be liberating... 🙄
