Well I think we can both agree that burning down the Earth Kingdom is a big fat war-crime by our standards (hell fire bending itself would be a warcrime) and I'm not saying war can justify something like that. But can it justify taking Suki as a prisoner? Yes. Can it justify capturing Ba Sing Se? Yup. Killing Zuko, Iroh, and Aang? Absolutely. I'm not saying these things are good, no not at all, but if you strap me with an Ak-47 and drop me in Afghanistan I will try my hardest to defeat the enemy and not die regardless of why side I'm on or the reason I'm on it.

War inherently brings things that are bad whether it's emotional scarring, death or whatever but you seem to be forgetting that it takes (at least) two sides to fight one. Aang and the rest we're fighting to capture the Fire Nation capital in Day of the Black Sun. How is that any different from Azula capturing Ba Sing Se? Azula was defeated and we know for a fact that she suffered mental trauma. How was that any different from capturing Suki? It's not. It's all the same all that's different is the perception just like in all wars.

And stop saying she nearly killed Mai Azula didn't even lay a finger on that woman.
