Honestly it is sickening that the supposedly mightiest military power in the last decades is incapable of holding its war criminals to account. During WWII generals (like Yamashita) were hanged for war crimes that happened in their area of responsibility (not even under their command and control), so nothing as a consequence for directly ordering a massacre or torture is simply unacceptable.

Edited to add: not only is it incapable of holding its war criminals to account, it has an explicit law to allow itself to invade anyone trying to do that (Hague invasion act). It's not incapable, it's hostilely unwilling.
