One day this social media exchange will be presented as evidence in a court room, and I cannot wait.
@randahl unfortunately for vance it's also what the international courts call it.

@capnthommo @randahl Well, yes and no, or how we say Jein.

International courts call it so.

Other countries' courts (war crimes tend to fall into extraterritorial jurisdiction, especially if the primary home country refuses to prosecute) call it so.

And murder has not statute of limitation in the USA.

And Vance is relatively young.

But he is right, for the past century the US has got away with tons of war crimes, without Americans getting even a slap.

@yacc143 Not entirely true. A great many of us have been fiercely outraged by our country's many, many crimes. We're just not politically powerful enough for that outrage to matter as much as it should. The present regime is especially shameless and despicable. But again, so far, there just aren't enough who are outraged enough about it all (yet) to change that. We can hope, though. The world is watching, and hopefully documenting it all. One day, guys like Vance might finally be made to answer.

@wesdym @yacc143
Every commissioned officer in the chain of command will be held to account for their orders – eventually. I am so ashamed.

And Vance is cosplaying…
