Proposed edit background 2

1) Should the background section mention that orders to fire on civilians were classified? Should the background section mention that these orders were rediscovered decades after the war?
Issues:

• The orders were classified.
• All orders given at the time were classified.

2) Should the background section mention that the orders to fire on civilians violated the laws of war?
Issues:

• The orders did violate the laws of war.
• It may be obvious that the orders violated the laws of war, and mentioning them here could be considered pointy.

3) Should the background section state that North soldiers infiltrated groups of civilian refugees, or only that there were reports of North Korean soldiers infiltrating groups of civilian refugees?
Issues:

• Is it widely accepted by reliable sources that such infiltration occurred prior to the No Gun Ri Massacre?
