Document Summary
Justice in war (jus in bello) = soldiers can be targets, civilians completely off limits (even if they are the enemy) Domestic analogy does not apply in justice in war, for walzer (prof. youkey disagrees) For walzer, the basic picture is this: non-combatants are off limits, and combatants are not: walzer says justice in war issues and justice of war issues should be kept wholly distinct. The two should be kept wholly distinct because you can have a just war with unjust actions in the war or you can have an unjust war with just actions in the war. Soldiers are not criminals if fighting in unjust war. Just behavior in an unjust war: rommell in wwii, he was a nazi. Unjust behavior in a just war: sherman"s burning of the south in us civil war. B) they most likely got involved because of patriotism and lawful obedience to their country. C) they are just following their duties.
