you using the equivalent of “all lives matter” for warfare out of the blue
You’re extrapolating, I just said an army and leadership can’t be humane to the enemy when engaged in a military conflict. I’m actually shrugging off arguments against the SMO
if you don’t tie “humane” to any kind of morality you could as well argue that everything done by humans is by definition humane
Most definitions of “humane” refer precisely to compassion and empathy, while morality way larger philosophical matter. I think we ultimately agree that in a war situation you have to surrender a part of your natural compassion by rationalising that the person against you would do more harm if you spare them
A lot of countries lost the wars despite having very little of it
True but it doesn’t mean the USSR and other allies were “humane”. Less sadistic yes but all the heroes who directly killed at least one fascists lost a bit of their humanity for the good cause.
One day some decently qualified lib will bring you a hard to refute proof that some army you support committed some kind of atrocity. I’m just shrugging that off by saying what do you think, it’s war dude, no one is playing clean
