At Redemption 99 there was a panel on weaponry in science fiction which I hosted with Steve Kilbane, and Steve can correct me if my memory's severely astray, and at one point it suddenly sunk into me that I was listening to some guy in the audience who was effectively admitting that he had machine-gunned defenceless prisoners in the heat of battle.
Can't corroborate that one, I'm afraid, because the whole of that panel's discussion was wiped away by the rest of the con [including, probably, the cabaret. ] I *do* remember someone making the declaration, in a by-our-product kinda way:
"Carpet bombing, as recommended by the US Military,"
but then rest? Complete blank. Including whatever it was I said.
