But you cannot compare the examples of American war crimes, limited, isolated incidents, with the government sanctioned and systematic slaughter that occured by the Germans and Japanese. |
You can compare it very well.
You can very well compare what happened in Auschwitz, Hiroshima, Nagasaki or Dresden.
The main difference is, that people who did it from Japan or Germany had to go to court house after the war, while people from America who did it, got money from their government.
