Doesn't make it less of a war crime. It just makes my point; they're willing to do this sort of thing, nobody is punished for it, so why wouldn't they be willing to murder a bunch of the enemy's children?

If we do it, it must be right.

Our population is so emotionally stunted that we mature on things like 24 and Game of Thrones, so killing the children of the enemy isn't just a normalized thing, it is a good idea.
