It surprises me that there haven't been more atrocities. In previous wars, particularly the ones in Europe and Korea, the enemy was a soldier. You'd look across the battlefield and realize that the kid in uniform was like you: When the war was over, if he survived, he'd go back to his job in the foundary, or the general store, or on the farm.
In this war, these people are animals. They are not ordinary soldiers, there's no one to hold accountable for their atrocities. You can't even get morale up by marking battlefield progress. The battlefield keeps moving.
