    We don’t let the uneducated be surgeons, so why would we ask them how to operate?

    Here’s a better idea, educate people properly.

      Something being a war crime or not is a question of morality, someone being your representative or not is a question of preference and interests. Putting educational barriers up on those issues is something that has been done before in history, but I myself would be careful to advocate for Jim Crow Laws.

          Maybe if America spend their money on education and healthcare instead of war crimes they would not have this problem.

            The stupid thing is they could have them all.

            Americans pay more for healthcare than any other developed nation for worse health outcomes, universal healthcare would simultaneously reinfranchise the working class by removing the restrictive costs of medical care, improve health outcomes and population happiness, and still have spare money for education, all without touching a dime of their military.

            But yes, less war crimes would also be nice.
