russian anti tank dogs!!!!!

I make no excuses for anyone's behaviour, hence the inclusion of the word "reprehensible", however it is history, and therefore not changeable, you may disagree with what they did, but they were different times, different attitudes, and in the circumstance they were under you don't get to judge.

Because your opinion, however valid in today's times, is neither relevant, or valid for those times.

Also modern day suicide bombers are different in two ways... 1) they are modern e.g. different times, different attitudes, and also not technically in a state of war.

and 2) Terrorism is not the same as a large scale global military conflict sanctioned legally by the government. Hence the Geneva convention dictating human rights during a time of war and the clear description of what is and is not a war crime.

There are a few books which I think you might find interesting :

1) Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut
and
2) The Wars - by Timothy Findley
