"...not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly..."
You simply assume no military necessity, and that the act is wanton and unlawful. You have no basis on which to judge whether or not that is the case. You have an inclination towards one side, and a desire to bespatter the other. That suffices for you to shriek the charge, and get huffy when doing so does not meet applause. It does not establish a crime is committed.
