TMLC has said from the begining that there was no Law of War violation and that is why LtCol Chessani did not report one. Now he is going to be criminally judged on whether that true belief was reasonable. It’s perverse.
A supporter emailed us the following that is useful :
I’m sending you this article because page 122 & 123 of Chapter III: ‘Offensive Strategy’ in your ‘Art of War’ book speaks to this exact point and why America now has so many problems with administrating and winning a war, perplexing its officers and army:
Para #20 –
“No evil is greater than commands of the sovereign from the court.”
Para #21-
“When (those) ignorant of military affairs, (are allowed) to participate in their administration. This causes officers to be perplexed.”
“The Army can not be run according to rules of etiquette.”
“As far as propriety, laws, and decrees are concerned, the army has its own code….”
“Benevolence and righteousness may be used to govern a state but cannot be used to administer an Army. Expediency and flexibility are used in administering an army, but cannot be used in government.”
Para #22 –
“When (those) ignorant of command problems (are allowed) to share in the exercise of responsibilities. This engenders doubts in the minds of officers.”
…..”If one ignorant of military matters is sent to participate in the administration of the army, then in every movement there will be disagreement and mutual frustration and the entire army will be hamstrung.”
And as Chang Yu said in 815-817 (+/-) AD: “In recent times court officials have been used as Supervisors of the Army and this is precisely what is wrong”!
AMAZING that the Chinese knew what “hobbles an army” almost 3,000 years ago and THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON TODAY!
History does repeat itself, but we cannot say we didn’t know of this history.
