   That is absolutely irrelevant. USA will never take responsibility. Nobody will be prosecuted. No compensations will be paid.

      Do you expect any military to be held accountable legally and/or financially when they make a bad decision like this? It'd be great if they were, but I'd never expect it.

         Absolutely; but that won't apply to any Western army.

            Why western armies specifically? What countries have a history of actually holding their military to legal account for their actions?

               Have you heard of Germany?

                  I don't think that's the example you want. Left to their own devices the Germans would not have held themselves accountable. As we speak the most popular party in Germany is a holocaust revisionist party.
