Is honor in war even a thing?

Not really, but if you kill the other guys prisoners, he'll probably kill yours.

yeah, but its generally on an individual basis.

Socrates got executed because he was super smart and everyone else was jealous, it had nothing to do with him being the most annoying person who ever existed in history - Plato

Anything America does is morally correct.

>willing to cross a frozen river
wow, so hard core man

can you believe these madmen sat in a boat when it was cold outside?

If the river was frozen why didn't they just walk over it?

something doesn't add up here

Alive and well. Minutes after taking fire, we sent out an R&S patrol. Just about everybody volunteered to go.

>the american school system actually teaches this

I'm in no way anti america (i'm actually going to study there in jan) but you guys really are indoctrinated............

>>31527711
No, because the faggot that looses always throws the cards on the floor and makes you pick them up.

>>31527711

Yes but not nowadays in the overwhelmingly vast amount of cases.

>>31527711
Individual basis. In battles staying alive and keeping your buddies alive by any means takes priority.

I'd only see honor being reasonable extremely rare situations where you're in a fight with a single enemy combatant for more than 2 minutes. Like that one dog fight in WWII where the German shook his wings out of respect for the out of ammo American before veering off.

>>31530771
Honestly the whole thing is more of a running joke here. Although I see how you could think that looking in from the outside.

Humanity is always a thing in a war. Honor or dishonor are just subcategories, in a same way how logic and it's variations are a subcategory of philosophy.

You do know things and how you learned them. And that's how you then do those things.

Smh

>>31532856
Could also talk about what they did to the Boers.

>>31532856
All you fucking libtards cling to Dresdan. Big fucking deal. Do you realize they bombed the fuck out of civilians and murdered six million jews?

>>31532910
do some research on the camps, they weren't concentration camps, bad management

And if you are supporting enemies of the state their homes should be burnt. In fact its relatively tame for the time.

>>31532934
They fucking earned it, they flattened Coventry and didn't think the brits would be dishonourable and bomb them back.

Problem is when you fucking hit a brit they come right at back you with vengeance and fire.

>>31533018
Vengeance has no honour.
The ends justify the means if they have already taken it from you.

If they could talk then they'd say it does
