I have no idea whether your father is still alive, but if he is, or some of his buddies are, ask them about how the Japanese treated the rest of the Pacific world during WWII. It was so horrible that people don't seem to want to deal with it anymore. Just sweep it under the rug. The Japanese killed millions of Asians and Europeans and Americans and Aussies and Kiwis, brutally. War is hell, but the Japanese treated non-Japanese worse than we'd treat animals. Simple death is compassionate compared to torture, deliberate starvation, being used as the subject of a medical experiment, or a so-called "comfort woman." Those are war crimes. Haditha was an aberration, and you know it. It wasn't government policy to systematically murder civilians. The term "war crimes" is reserved for government policies carried out under orders. What happened in Haditha was crimes, ordinary crimes, personal bad choices by individuals.
