Since the Hitler period came up, there are great parallels to the topic of
land mines for that time period. During Harris bombardment of the civilian
population they did not just use regular and incendiary bombs, but also delay-
action bombs which exploded hours or days after the impact with the goal to
hit rescue workers who dug out the dead or wounded.

Like with most aerial bombs at the time, there where quite a few who didnt
detonate. Its one thing to dispose of a regular bomb, but the time delayed
ones are mostly just stuck. They detonated since then once some unlucky bloke
moved or just touched them. Just in 2012 for example such a bomb killed 3 bomb
disposal experts.

ttingen-experts-attempt-defuse-it.html)

With them getting older and older, they get more likely to detonate without
even any interaction as the trigger guard rots through.

The situation of some south eastern Asian countries with unexploded ordnance
and actual land mines is a better example though. Using a weapon like this
will continue to indiscriminately kill people for well over a century.

Yes, land mines are horrible, the incalculable environmental damage and
subsequent human (and other) suffering of any war can’t be overstated. War
however, at least wars of the “necessary” type are the kind of the thing that
don’t allow for those considerations. It is a _very_ strong argument, not for
trying to change how war is fought (minimally effective), but to accept that
war is truly an atrocity to be avoided at nearly all costs. Instead we spent
the years after WWII trying to make war on anything vaguely “red”
