When you gun down your opponents who are surrendering ala Malmedy, you have surrendered the Moral High Ground.

When you use the same tactics against your enemies that they used against you, you are surrendering the moral high ground.

When you slaughter entire villages of VC Civilians, you are surrendering the moral high ground.
I am seriously arguing one thing. Do what is necessary to win the war. Worry about the aftermath later, if any. One of the German High Command (acting Fuhrer at the time, Karl Doenitz) was going to be taken up on charges before the Nuremburg Tribunal for his unrestricted Submarine Warfare against the Allies. These charges were dropped when the british and american admiralties both said that he should not be charged with that. Why? Because THEY had conducted the exact same type of warfare against the Axis forces.
Next?
