As for the Hague Tribunal (which formally closes on 31st of December), combined sentences per nationalities are as follows:
Serbs - 1400 years (if you count six life sentences as 40 years each).
Croats - 294 years.
Bosnian muslims - 42 years.
Albanians - 13 years.
A travesty of justice.
Imagine that if by some strange and unknowable turn of events, in 20 years time you find yourself leading a unit in an ethno-war. There is a historical lesson to be learned here for this eventuality.
First, obviously, don't lose!
Secondly, if you have even the subtlest of itches to commit some war crimes, might as well do it, win or lose. If you win, it won't matter, and if you lose, you know your particular side will be summarily declared war criminals and racists and executed regardless of what you did or didn't do. I mean, it's better to be punished for a crime you committed than for one you didn't.
And that post right there is a great example of sending an unintended message. It almost encourages people to commit warcrimes if it means they win the conflict.
War crimes?
I don't know about you, but war is dirty, dark, and evil. This whole "Geneva Convention", lobbing missiles, and bombing runs by drones, has seriously made conducting a war seem "sterile".
People die in wars. Civilians and soldiers. That's the whole bloody point.
War crimes, such an oxymoron. As if there are honorable ways to killing, maiming, and looting.
