This makes me feel sick. War tactic my arse.

Heres a section from the article:


The former commander of the UN peacekeeping force in eastern Congo, Major-General Patrick Cammaert, told the BBC he personally witnessed its impact.

"It's a very effective weapon, because the communities are totally destroyed," he said.

"You destroy communities. You punish the men, and you punish the women, doing it in front of the men."

Man, I wish they could stick to ways of murdering people and destroying communities that didn't make me feel sick! How dare they!

Fair enough grown men shooting at each other, but when they are raping helpless women, and in some cases children, it's wrong.

It's not like they were assembling a UN playbook.

They were categorizing it as a tactic that some employ.

It's one of the oldest tactics in the history of warfare. It's not like they're promoting it, just recognising it.
