War
There's plenty of complexity in war, but some things aren't complicated at all.
Civilians are, categorically, not POWs. And treating civilians as if they were, is a war crime.

Republicans have delayed more than $1 billion in funding for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, better known as PEPFAR, the latest complication facing a lifesaving HIV program that has been ensnared in the GOP's broader political fight to impose their religious ideology on all Americans and around the globe.

You would think people involved in a "justice" system would understand this. If someone keeps flaunting the law, and no one punishes them for doing so, they are going to keep doing it.
