    Yeah I’m not sure that war crimes work that way. You don’t get a pass because the opponent is doing illegal things.

      Using incendiaries away from civilians isn’t a war crime regardless of which side uses them

      You literally get a pass because its not illegal to set an enemy on fire any more than its illegal to blow a hole in their guts with a bullet or fill their torso full of shrapnel. I’m not sure why you think it would be.
