      have I committed war crimes?

      edit: in TF2 I hit a friendly player with festive mittens which made him burst out laughing before I made a gun shape with my hand and shot him with it. Does that count?

      it is still not great to be singled out and asked such a thing based on your nationality. But yeah if you didn’t commit any war crimes this should be a minor inconvenience

        Not really “singled” out, from this article

        He also clarified in a public letter to Cohen that the pledge requires “all guests whom our guesthouse identifies as potentially having been involved in war crimes to sign the form,” including those from Burundi, the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Mali, Myanmar, Palestine, Russia, Syria, and Sudan.

        Also, the officials aren’t huge fans apparently

        The Japan Times quoted a city official as saying WIND VILLA had not violated Japanese law, but the pledge was “inappropriate”.

        So it seems the hotel owner is worried and doing a manual check. There’s probably a better way to vet people but considering where he is idk if it’s as simple or legal

        And very minor compared to how the US treats you if you wanna visit their country

          It’s the same question but you don’t get in unless you say yes and have references to back it up
