    A lot of people really, really need to learn what is and isn’t a war crime. Civilian infrastructure being used for a military purpose is fair game, so if you’re storing military hardware in a civilian area, that area loses it’s protection.

        There’s a compelling argument to be made that a settlement like that is inherently an occupying force, even if they aren’t being used to store weapons.
