There IS a uniform code to govern the military. I'm still unclear whether Epo and Darth believe this is right and proper.
At the risk of Godwin, we prosecuted Nazis for war crimes. IIRC Paprika spoke negatively about that. I'm unclear as to why. Were we as a society right to be horrified at the My Lai massacre? Was it right to hold Serb commanders to account for ethnic cleansing atrocities?
The reason I'm asking is that most reasonable people, Christian or not, liberal or conservative, believe that some actions in warfare by combatants (even if they're me) are beyond the bounds of wartime morality and a dishonour to their units. Are they right? For some reason, I'm having trouble extracting from Epo and Darth a straight answer to this question. I promise I'm not laying some future infernal liberal trap. I'm asking because I'm curious about the moral beliefs of both these guys.
