A rare and disturbing picture, so much about this is still a mystery. We don’t know what became of the skull—or, indeed, what became of the young woman herself, or the man who sent it to her …
In this thread there’s been a lot of handwaving about “war is hell.” You said war is desensitizing and that the peoole who did war crimes were “unstable.”
Thats really common when US war crimes are brought up. “Well obviously war is hell/war is desensitizing/they were just crazy,” gets deployed, instead of the most obvious thing staring us in the face - the core US value of white supremecy.
War is hell. What about the culture of white supremacy, genocide, rascism, and aparthied the men who commited these crimes came from? Was it really just war that desensitized them?
You may not, even probably aren’t falling into this consciously. But you are making excuses for war crimes and the reality of what the US actually is.
Sure but I dk if I would want to be with a guy that sent me the head of his enemies as a momento.
Like 40’s girl wants a skulls ?
They dating Wednesday Adams?
That war is desensitizing
That’s an overly generous view of war crimes
Feel free to pitch in with more takes
Seems necessary with all the “war is hell” handwaving going on to point out that the people who did this are war criminals
Not sure how that is relevant since I have made no statement regarding the legality of such things but 👍
You made an excuse for war crimes
Yeah, no. I did no such thing.

Still no. You don’t have a point here, however much you try to force one.
If others are ‘handwaving’ war crimes, that’s on them and you can argue with them about it. :-)

I’d probably not want to be in the same squad lol. Soldiers taking trophies from their enemies bodies gives of an unstable vibe
Whaaa!? Skulls for the Skull throne is 100% mentally stable.
