Is that what you believe now? Because it would appear that you've experienced something of an epiphany since earlier in the year! You made an unsupported claim referencing an authoritative source that you subsequently refused to reveal then and you have never revealed since back then. A couple posters attempted to encourage you to put up or ....., but you only revealed a rather ineffective attempt to excuse and explain your way out of the weakness of your position . I've copied and pasted the pertinent parts of the exchange for others who might have been unaware of your past positions against(at least when you are the one being asked!) providing linked information to support your contentions.

All Armies have someone or group in it that committed some illegal Atrocity. What you need to ask is was that the Normal or was it the Exception.
As an example from what I have read it was normal for the Japanese in China to rape, pillage and kill indiscriminately. When that happens it is clear that the leaders are condoning that making it in effect a policy of that Army.

And the reason you refused to offer your search method is? If your intended method is to encourage intelligent discussion it does not appear that way....it just seems like obfuscating and trying to appear superior.

One of the effects of the Socratic method is that it is not a one-sided transmission of thought or ideas, it is an exchange. If you feel that my role in it is to be "superior" . . I think my history of posts on these forums should counter that presumed role. There are many other on the forum that want to take that role in their postings.

Really, it could happen.
I'm imagining a lawyer arguing case law and telling the judge to look it up himself so that the judge might learn how to do it.
