"To expand a little bit on the conversation from yesterday, today we saw that a lot of the tactics used both by the Russian partisans and the Jewish partisans were guerrilla tactics. These include disrupting supply lines, stealing from the enemies, ambushes, etc. What legitimizes, or makes these actions justifiable, if any? Keep in mind that we used many of the same tactics to gain our independence from Great Britain. Should strict rules of war apply, or is all fair in love and war?"
War is the lack of agreement between two countries. If a fight breaks out in a bar, then those involved don’t follow set guidelines on how to fight. You fight until you are overwhelmed or you win. The same is in war. Nothing that you do is unjustified in war, because you must do what you can to win. When the Jewish Partisans starting using guerilla tactics, they were doing whatever they could to make sure that they won the fight, or at least survived through it. We did the same things while fighting for our freedom, and we do across the world today.
