Does Captain Kirk was tried to commit genocide via Starfleet General Order 24?

I'm from Poland I'm 35 years old(born April 1986) in my country I watched all Star Trek series except the original Star Trek because it was a bit not as cool as the more modern one, but I'm catching up :-)

I watched some of TOS but not all

But captain Jean-Luc Picard was my favourite one :-)

But recently I decided to watch TOS, it's partly because it's on Netflix here in Europe 

But one episode  "A Taste of Armageddon" captain Kirk issue order 24 "General Order 24 that is to destroy life entire on the planet, and it kind of genocidal order if someone asks me, and very much more Terran 

Not very much benevolent Federation :-)

    If you watched the entire movie you would find out that in the end general order 24 was nothing more than a trick there never was a general order 24 Captain Kirk called a bluff like in poker to deceive the ambassador. 

    But general order 24 was nothing more than a bluff it never existed
