I didn't say anything about excusing war criminals, obviously everyone who knowingly committed or ordered attrocities should be held accountable. I said we don't need to alienate people whose only crime was falling for the lies of their political leaders, and there are tons of veterans like that.

There are basically no veterans that have been actively deployed that havent turned a blind eye to crimes. I wouldnt go as far as saying there are no good veterans, but its pretty close.
