I recall watching Kraut's YouTube channel many many years ago, and I stopped following Kraut when he said "there is no such thing as a war crime." Justifying a certain action during a war as a necessity is one thing, sometimes there are necessary evils. It wasn't the particular thing he was justifying that even bothered me so much, but how he justified it. His argument wasn't even that it was a necessary evil, rather, he straight-up said you should be allowed to do anything you want in war period, there can be no "evil" in war. That just rubbed me the wrong way, assumed he might be a bit off his rocker and stopped following him.
