Calley and those who took part in that day's horrors were considered "ordinary men," basically soulmates for the murderers in Reserve-Polizei-Bataillon 101 (en.wikipedia.org).
There was some heroism displayed by Hugh Thompson, Glenn Andreotta and Lawrence Colburn in their helicopter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Thompson_Jr.).

I knew a guy who served with Calley. He once buzzed me in a Huey, No joke.

Americans don't commit war crimes.
Those deaths were well intentioned mistakes.
Calley didn't deserve prison. He didn't do anything wrong.
It was Just liberals getting upset about normal mistakes in war.
Calley deserved to be promoted, not locked up.
See how easy that was.
Israel has the Right to Defend Itself.
Same idea.

Ukraine is an independent, sovereign country. Russia is a war-criminal state.
See how easy that is?

You're catching on, better late than never.
It's all about what Your Perspective is.
To some Israel, righteous and justified. To others killers of children and war criminals.
To some, Ukraine is righteous and even Noble.
To others, Stupid beyond measure and Corrupt.
Opinions vary.

LEGALLY
It gets easier.
If Trump drags the United States into WWIII in support of Russia, he is a war criminal and a Traitor (with a capital "T").
Which is another reason he needs that Immunity decision from the Supreme Court.
