Trump, with his diatribe, has entered Imperial Japanese Army territory pre Rape of Nanking

[AZLD4Candidate]

A couple of days before the siege and destruction of Nanjing happened on Dec 7th, 1937, the Japanese dropped leaflets over the then-Chinese capital with the following to the people of Nanjing.

The Japanese Army, one million strong, has already conquered Jiangnan. We have surrounded the city of Nanking … The Japanese Army shall show no mercy toward those who offer resistance, treating them with extreme severity, but shall harm neither innocent civilians nor Chinese military personnel who manifest no hostility. It is our earnest desire to preserve the East Asian culture. If your troops continue to fight, war in Nanking is inevitable. A culture that has endured for a millennium will be reduced to ashes, and a government that has lasted for a decade will vanish into thin air. This commander-in-chief issues a warning to your troops on behalf of the Japanese Army. Open the gates to Nanking in a peaceful manner, and take the aforementioned action.

Let's re-write it for our current situation:

The American Military, one million strong, has already conquered Venezuela. We have surrounded the country of Iran … The American Military shall show no mercy toward those who offer resistance, treating them with extreme severity, but shall harm neither innocent civilians nor Iranian military personnel who manifest no hostility. It is our earnest desire to preserve the Middle Eastern culture. If your troops continue to fight, war in Iran is inevitable. A civilization that has endured for a millennium will be reduced to ashes, and a government that has lasted for five decades will vanish into thin air. This commander-in-chief issues a warning to your troops on behalf of the American Military. Open the borders and oil fields of Iran in a peaceful manner, and take the aforementioned action.

I wonder when the Rape of Teheran and our version of Unit 731 will commence.

1. Sorry.

I have to have a little more faith that American combat troops would not be participants in such a crime against humanity.

2. Ask the native Americans if they have that faith. Abu Ghraib. Sentencing juveniles as adults here.

Japanese internment during WW2.
The butchering of the Filipinos during the Filipino-American War after the Spanish American War, including the use of concentration camps.
ICE concentration camps
Mass killings of civilians during the 1st and 2nd Caco War in Haiti
Trophy taking of dead Japanese during WW2. FDR was even mailed an ear of one as a trophy
Mass rape during the Battle of Okinawa
My Lai, Operation Speedy Express during Vietnam
No Gun Ri during Korea

MANY, MANY more.

All documented cases that American combat troops were participants in crimes against humanity.

Just a weak Google or Wikipedia search stating "American war crimes" and all of this is documented and verifiable.

A main psychological objective in war is to dehumanize the "enemy," making it easier to kill and abuse them. The Enemy aren't people.
