These are not claims, they are historical facts. Let me point out a few to you since you seem to have a number of historical innacuracies here.

In his book called "The Other Price of Hitler's War: German Military & Civilian Losses Resulting from WW 2," author Martin Sorge wrote the following regarding the events that took place after the massacre:

"It was in the wake of the Malmedy incident at Chegnogne that on New Year's Day 1945 some 60 German POWs were shot in cold blood by their American guards. The guilt went unpunished. It was felt that the basis for their action was orders that no prisoners were to be taken."

BTW, 45 escaped, not several hundred. 80 to 85 were gunned down in the field at the 5 corners south of Malmedy. The actual number of the Battery was 125 men.

The Mexican American war took place between 1846 and 1848. Daniel Boone died in his home September 26, 1820 at the age of 85.

I agree with you that the Lord favors those that hold true to him. But this is not about our personal relationsip with God. If you find it hard to do those things which you find to be despicable and dishonorable then I salute you. Don't ever change.

But the fact remains is that the Army of the United States in it's history, has consistantly done what was necessary to win battles and to win wars, regardless of some Rule or Law of war. History is replete with evidence of this, all you need to do is to look for it.

Sorry I was busy when typing. Davy Crocket not DB. I guess I was thinking of Jim Bowe who was also there. And I did say a few escaped at Malmady, not 200. You are corret that Americans have been resposible for War crimes. Still does not make it right. Second. If you or anyone else disobeys orders you have committed a crime, dishonored yourself and your men. We work for the civilian government and laws and orders have been given to me and you. You have a duty to obey. If you do not, we have lost the discipline that makes our military great. How would you react if your troops did not obey your orders, The fact they don't agree is irrelevant. If you can't follow orders your in the wrong business.
