The reason they want to move on past this is so more of their war crimes are
not found out.
I know the thing to do is blame America for all the evils in the world, only
America has done something bad or wrong.
Well listen up you little cretin, War Crimes was the name of the game for
the North. They applied it with gusto and glee.
They could not even spell Geneva Convention let alone follow it's rules.
Hell they even treated their own people like the enemy and committed many
war crimes against them. Yes we most likely committed war crimes by their
standards and maybe by ours as well, but it's nothing compared to what they
did to their own and us.
