Is it even worthwhile to discuss or study "war crimes"?
Say we make some big advancement in our ethics around war. So what? I don't see how it would save any lives. You think that you're going to show Putin proof of some wrongdoing and he's going to act differently?
I'd like to hear someone describe a way in which philosophical study of the morality of war is going to improve society.
