9. Correct. American troops are to follow the Geneva Convention - they are all taught this information
It's up to the leadership, from Platoon Ldr/SGT up to President of the United States to set the tone of MORAL LEADERSHIP.

When our troops breech the Geneva Convention, it is up to their immediate military superior to report it to the Squad Leader - Platoon Sergeant - Platoon Leader - Company Commander. At the Company level an investigation should be first conducted.

We should have ZERO tolerance for war crimes.

I suspect that NOTHING has changed with regard to military "cover up" since none of the General Officers have been replaced from the last Administration. Therefore, war crimes are covered up and the majority of soldiers who do have a SOUND moral compass dare not speak out.

The whistle blowers have no support at the lower ranks of the military when the brass is corrupt.
