In fact, we had military and private contractors commit war crimes, and even the ethical folks did things that contributed to millions getting displaced.

Cheney/Rumsfeld/Bush clan did some truly horrific things. Kidnapping people with any kind of trial. Dropping bombs in Western Pakistan on weddings because there’s some suspected leader of an organization we don’t like, even if they simply aren’t terrorists but don’t want America in the region.
