Captain James Holden ? Really ??? Has the author watched to many episodes of "The Expanse" ?

@MusikCassette 5 ай бұрын

Watching all of them is just about enough. So he can not have watched to many. But he should have come up with an own name.

It is true. I miss the days whenever anyone questioned the treatment of prisoners, they were FORCED to live in the very cell block for a week as a general population inmate before being allowed to bring anything to court. Trust me, they came out wanting harsher punishment on those inmates rather than wanting things to get easier for them. They also used to throw anti-military people into a harsh boot camp. The shock after a week or two of that to only learn they were only doing half of what is required was hilarious. Within two weeks you have discipline beaten into you hard no matter what.

An interesting story. But any supposed Tribunal which would be aghast at the attacks on the religious caste or the slaughter that followed, would ALSO be against any race seeking to exterminate another. The whole premise of the war would have resulted in that galactic group perhaps intervening, rather than letter a slaughter of a lesser race occur. The fact the did not do so makes the whole story moot as it does not fit the narrative of the council.

Had a start of a decent premise, but it kind of muddled the plot, especially the middle and end. Just the assassination of the alien leadership would have been a good "hook"...the "armada massacre" in the context of the story is needless overkill (pun intended) and the tribunal scene sounds unrealistic and pithy. Should we root for the protagonist? Should we hate his guts? Should we at least sympathize with him (or his victims)?

@noppornwongrassamee8941 6 ай бұрын

This story suffers from the flaw that it never actually backs up the assertion that the massacred aliens were trying to pull a false surrender. Yes, the humans SAY that their foes were trying to lull them into a false surrender, but no documents, recordings, etc etc were ever provided to back that assertion. A surrendering fleet was still surrendering. Imprison the crews and the ships are effectively deprived from the enemy nation withOUT a massacre, Without hard proof of that the surrender was a trap - even if only garnered after the fact - it's hard to call the massacre justified. Basically, all humanity has done here is guarantee that no one will surrender to them ever again because they can only expect to be massacred out of hand if the human CO feels like it.After all, the human CO can always use the "I thought they were faking a surrender" excuse to kill surrendering soldiers out of hand.

I find this video deeply disturbing, reminiscent of historical injustices like the Jallianwala Bagh massacre where General Dyer, representing British rule, callously took countless innocent lives. This narrative, justifying such actions without moral principles, seems rooted in a Western concept that echoes the proverb: 'The strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must.' It's a troubling perspective that we must reflect upon and challenge.

You seem to have a twisted and one sided view of history. I would suggest that you research the Japanese war on China and Korea. More recently the Hammas attack on Israel that targeted civilians, babies, women and old people as a deliberate tactic. From your own country, how many civilians were massacred, on both sides during partition, because you could not live together ?? The numbers are estimated in millions. None of these incidents involved Europeans, so perhaps you should climb down from your posturing moral high horse. It's contemptible.

@peterwarner553 6 ай бұрын

What a load of crap, firstly your "proverb" doesn't seem to have any relationship to the story, secondly just off the top of my head I can think of a dozen examples of non western peoples conducting mass slaughter out of expedience and shear enjoyment let alone out of a perceived existential threat, it's not western, and you calling it so merely exposes your inherent racist tendencies, mass slaughter has been a part of human cultures throughout history, throughout the world.
