You want to defend cowards hiding inside bunkers? Be my guest
money is worthless toilet paper • the tongue has no bone (a person might say one thing but it cannot be further from the truth) • you cannot teach a goat math as in you cannot teach the dhamma to a dumb person

Doesn't the Buddhist teaching say that bad (akusala) kamma will get the evil doers?

Just make sure that you don't create un-needed akusala kamma for yourself.
"The non-doing of any evil,
the performance of what's skillful,
the cleansing of one's own mind:
this is the teaching
of the Awakened.
"
