I already read through an excellent link that contained detailed info about the Armenian Genocide. Today, actually.

Let me get this straight: you are asserting that the American government would direct a genocidal slaughter of "ethnics" on the scale of Saddam, or the Ottomans?

Let me get away with what? I'm not sure where we're going with this exchange.

It's very simple ~ if you take an average population of civilians composed of the old, the young, the very young, the healthy, the sick, the injured, and so forth, the mere fact of hauling them around is going to kill some of them and injure many.

Since this process is so well known that's why no one will let the Turks off the hook on the genocide of the Armenians.

For the most part, that's all the Turks did, too ~ just relocate them.

The Brits thought they'd do that in South Africa in their attack against the Boor settlers. They ended up murdering over a hundred thousand women and children. The Nazis were later encouraged by such a success rate.

We exempt people from guilt when they organize a mass exodus in the face of disaster. Otherwise, we don't. The internment of the JAs (mostly women and children) falls into the category of such events which should not be forgiven.
