The solipsism of the American establishment conversation on war crimes is awful. They are not bad because they make the people serving in the criminal's unit feel bad, or because they make life harder for our brave heroes in uniform down the road.https://twitter.com/briangongol/status/1210799444578336769 …

Replying to @Pinboard
You're ignoring the heavy lifting done by the word "also" in the single sentence I quoted, as well as the word "aspect" in my own comment. Both of those hints ought to make it patently obvious that war crimes themselves are *obviously* first-order evils.

I don't think either you or @KoriSchake minimize the horror of the crimes committed. My issue is with U.S. press coverage of this story being almost entirely centered on the perpetrators of the crimes and their fellow soldiers.
