"Coalition forces and especially U.S. forces do not, have not and will not conduct themselves in a manner... ANY manner remotely similar to what any "opposition" may, or have. To think otherwise is absolutely ludicrous. Troops who DO commit atrocities will be held accountable and treated in accordance with the UCMJ, and international law... as stated earlier, we just aren't "evil" that way. We train on LOAC (Law of Armed Conflict) and every soldier, sailor, marine and airman is well versed in these "rules". We do NOT execute prisoners, torture, rape or otherwise brutalize them... period."
