Correct, bombing Yemen is a war crime and you as a soldier are guilty if you go along with it. Under international law you have a duty to say no to illegal orders, and a responsibility to act to prevent the genocide in Gaza.
In fact I’d argue it’s a legal responsibility to shoot whatever officer gave you the order, but at the very least it is your responsibility to ignore illegal orders.
Oh sorry we weren’t talking about Yemen?
Nonono you don't understand, in the US, "war crimes" are when white people are uncomfortable with the bombing of brown people.
Until then, it's completely legal and justified. Cause, you know, terrorism or some vague idea we gesture at.
