I thought US soldiers never committed war crimes!

Based on his own experience in our military, he's honestly correct. I doubt
that any sailor on any noncombatant US support ship ever committed a war
crime. So, in his 'world' they do not and men like Kerry who say they do
are damn liars.

Also much depends on definitions. If a suicide bomber blows up a school he's
a terrorist and his act an atrocious war crime but if a 500 lb bomb hits a
school and kills the same number of kids then 'that's war' and the dead are
'collateral damage'.

The outgunned use that attitude to their advantage. One of them can fire on
a powerful opponant from a neutral or even pro-american crowd causing their
well armed opponant to machine gun the crowd, thus creating 1000s of new
terrorists. And the beat goes on .....
