      I’m not defending the crimes this woman helped perpetrate, I’m asking what material actions you are advocating for.

      For example, I believe that the rapist should be punished, this woman needs help with the resulting PTSD, and the entire military needs to be dismantled with appropriate punishments for all involved. Requiring them to do labor rebuilding countries they destroyed would be a good start, with harsher punishment for people doing actual war crimes themselves. Being physically violated by a man who’s also an accessory to war crimes is not a valid punishment, it does not advance any of the societal goals of punishment (deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, retribution), to speak nothing of how inhumane and cruel it is.

      What about you?
