To assume that the deplorable actions of a few, that occurred under the previous administration, are something new would be incorrect. Horrific war crimes against non-combatants have been a staple of war since war began. American soldiers are no different than most other armies. The vast majority serve honorably, would never dream of harming non-combatants, and risk their lives to save non-combatants. Then there is the small minority of individuals who are sociopaths, psychopaths, and sexual predators. The curtain of war gives them cover to engage in horrific crimes that they most likely would never attempt back in the States. There are some real animals among us, and some serve in our military. They always have, and they always will.

There are not too many countries who could pass judgment on the US in this regard, without being hypocrites of the highest order. Every country has, and has had mental cases in their military's who have engaged in unspeakable war crimes. The only exception I can think of might be a handful of Scandinavian countries.

Sad but true.
