The US does it selectively. They literally sanction outside parties even looking into their war crimes. The war crimes the US acticevely punishes to a decent extent are convenient ones. My Lai? Couple of years house arrest for ONE guy. Abu Gharib? Extremely light sentences. Eddie Gallagher? Presidential pardon.

If you'd ever seen the aftermath of what they did at My Lai that "punishment" should sicken you. Hundreds of children raped and mutilated. An entire village massacred out of sheer bloodlust. And a couple of years house arrest (which caused outrage among the US populace, not the leniency but that any punishment happened at all)

This is the sort of thing that I feel destroys credibility. If you looked to for news and become clear that there is seemingly a conscious and wilful decision to omit information and misleading readers, that's wrong. At that point ought to be fired or removed because cannot be trusted.

Especially with how fucked up the supposed shared video is, zero sympathy. It is no wonder the article had a warning at the top.
