The armed services are also charging, prosecuting and convicting those who participate in murders, atrocities, and other wartime offenses.
TCS and I were discussing this. He said that even during the Vietnam era, his senior officers (including former POWs) never held GMT's or assemblies where they tried to demonize or dehumanize the enemy. He never heard any such stories from shipmates, either.
Those who did commit atrocities were often people who were acting out their own psychological problems, personality defects and prejudices.
Yeah, teach them to do it, and then prosecute them. Nice.
