The US military and the US government is responsible for punishing war crimes commited by its soldiers.

poorly worded riposte.
if the soldeirs comitted a crime in any country, that country has jurisdiction over them. period. so, just like that kid who was keying cars in singapore was sentenced to be caned, these soldiers are subject to the laws of that land.
