Sadly enough, it comes down to doing whatever it takes to not be taken yourself, and survive. Having the good sense and the restraint to do no worse than you must is what would have made the US better (we sure didn't need to use Oppenheimer's bombs against the Japanese, who we had already thoroughly defeated).
Exactly. I understand that in a survival situation, stuff gets desperate like that, but most of the events where the US did horrific things were when they were winning in both Europe and the Pacific.
