It is commonly used in all wars.

And? This is common practice in all war. Ukraine certainly has military members who do this also. It’s almost like war is a horrific, terrible thing that horrific, terrible people are drawn to.

Yes those dirty Ukrainian forces… checks notes defending their homes and neighbors.

Yes those righteous, upstanding heroes… checks notes doing absolutely no wrong because everyone on Our Team is so pure.
- Duamerthrax ( @Duamerthrax@lemmy.ml ) 14•11 months ago
I never said anything about purity. That’s an obsession of the simple minded.
That being said, you can never fault someone for defending their home and their community when an armed threat literally come knocking.

And I never said anything about Ukrainian forces being dirty.

Yeah seriously! All those disgusting war crimes the Russians continue to use, that’s totally just because some bad people were drawn to the war and it totally isn’t state sponsored!!! Ukraine and Russia, bOtH sIdEs!!!
That makes all the war crimes, genocide, raping okay!! Both sides guys!!!

Yeah, how awful, understanding that war causes both forces to act inhumane is just so stupid, am I right?? 🙄🙄 instead we should pretend that the Ukrainian army is nothing but upstanding righteous heroes.
Are you illiterate? Nowhere did I say it was okay, just that it isn’t news.
- Lemminary ( @Lemminary@lemmy.ml ) 4•11 months ago
Except that nobody has ever said that the Ukrainians are “nothing but upstanding righteous heroes”, that was all you putting words in people’s mouths and running with it for convenience.
Besides, you’re bothsidedsing a report on heinous acts of genocide during an invasion. Disgusting POS.
- OceanSoap ( @OceanSoap@lemmy.ml ) 1•11 months ago
And I never said the war crimes committed by Russia are just.
- NuPNuA ( @NuPNuA@lemm.ee ) 3•11 months ago
Yes, I’m sure all those Ukrainians were just gagging for Russia to invade so they could get it all out their system.
