No. I accepted your explanation. I was just pointing out in a probably too oblique manner that I think we are going to soon learn that Americans have committed "war crimes" in the more serious sense that you originally meant it -
"The common usage, and the horrified way of saying it that brings to mind death, and despair, and the end of civilization, and not a speeding ticket in a war zone.
Treblinka was a war crime. My Lai was a war crime. The shooting of the Koreans under the bridge was a war crime. Executions of POWs are war crimes. Beatings and tortures and starvations and freezings are war crimes."
