There will always be those who collaborate with the enemy if it makes their lives easier. They are unwilling to accept life as it would be if they refused to associate with invaders. Over the course of history, there have been times when the enemy stayed long enough to assimilate with the natives and become for all intents and purposes the same. In WW2 France and other countries occupied by the Germans, the suppression of the people and harsh treatment kept the hatred strong and when the Germans were evicted, those who had collaborated paid the piper... as they should have.

We do what we must do to survive.

I see you agree with what the Talibans are doing now.

Surely we aren't trying to inject morality into war, are we?

Sure not, just consistency ;-)

CONSISTENCY???

Remember always: The winner of a conflict gets to write the history of it.

Unless you mean by "consistency" that winners always rid themselves of those who disagree with them.

The Nazis overthrew the legitimate government of France. The Nazis were the enemy and those who collaborated with them paid the price when the LEGITIMATE government of France was returned to power. They were traitors but there wasn't widespread murder of them. They were humiliated and became social outcasts. It was appropriate IMO.

The Taliban have overthrown the legitimate government of Afghanistan. The Taliban are the enemy and they, like the Nazis, are carrying out a murderous agenda against any and all who they think may oppose them. I do not approve of what they are doing.

If you can't understand the difference then you and I have nothing further to discuss on this matter. You may have the last word.

There seemed to be a lot more "partisans" after the Germans were gone.

Only about 3% to 5% of the population were actually in "The Resistance"
But it is easy to attack women - ask the Taliban

This is who you need!

Kind of a puerile subject that is not going to bring about a very productive discussion. Anyone into history and social aspects should be pretty well versed in this.
We've all seen the countless photos of head shavings and beatings many, many, times.
Just my personal opinion.
